What happens when a cell gets larger and larger?

Biology
1 answer:
steposvetlana [31]3 years ago

<span> Obviously its surface area gets bigger, but the real issue is that its surface area gets bigger at a slower rate than its volume. In other words, the surface area to volume ratio decreases, so before long there is not enough surface area to take in enough nutrients to feed the greater volume. This is the principle limiting factor in how large cells can grow. if the cell is getting bigger as a result of being placed in a hypotonic solution. That situation could end in the cell bursting (blowing up). However, the question sounds like it is asking about getting bigger through normal cell growth. hope it helped you. :)

List two scientific discoveries that have led to a better understanding of modern human variation.
Sedaia [141]
The first scientific discovery is the epigenetic variation where it describes the deviation in the chemical tags that attach to DNA which affect how genes are read. Theses tags are called epigenetic markings that  act as switches that control how genes can be read. Another essential discovery on human variation is the genetic variability, which measures the tendency of individual genotypes in a population to become different from one another. In addition, the variability of a trait is how much that characteristic tends to vary in response to environmental and hereditary influences.
