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. :)

Which currents carry warm water away from the equator?
bixtya [17]
The answer top the question given above is letter c. Surface currents.
There are two types of ocean currents, surface current and deep currents. 
Surface currents which are caused by winds,move warm water away from the equator and cool water away from the poles. Deep currents on the other hand are driven by differences in water density.

Why does darkness affect the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Light independent reactions require the energy gathered in the thylakoids.

Photosynthesis can divided into two sub-processes or reactions:

Light-dependent reaction: It converts solar energy into chemical energy that is, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH with the help of photolysisis of water. It takes place in thyllakoid membrane of the chloroplast.

Light-independent reaction: It fixes carbon obtained from carbon dioxide into the food or glucose with the help of enzyme RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase).

It takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast and does not require the involvement of light however, it requires the products (ATP and NADPH) of the light reaction.

Fixation of 1 molecule of glucose requires 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 9 molecules of ATP and 6 molecules of NADPH.

So, darkness indirectly affects the light-independent reaction.
