Biology

<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. :)

Assuming that transcription and translation both proceed from left to right, which is the correct orientation of the DNA templat
aleksklad [387]

The correct answer is:

DNA template 3'– ……… –5'

RNA transcript 5'– ……… –3'

Protein product H2N– ……. –COOH

In nucleic acids, DNA and RNA 5’ end refers to phosphate group attached to the 5′ carbon of the ribose ring, while 3’ end refers to the ribose -OH substituent. Nucleic acids can only be synthesized in the 5′-to-3′ direction, which means that the DNA template is 3’—5’. Translation of the protein by the ribosome will also proceed in a 5′ to 3′ direction, which means that the mRNA template is 3’—5’.

The protein during the synthesis is extend from its N terminus toward its C terminus.
