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. :)

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

A glucose dose or injection should be given to produce an increase in blood glucose . Give 10-25 g (20-50 ml of D50W — dextrose 50% in water) of glucose intravenously .

Explanation:

Hypoglycemia is a low blood sugar or glucose in the body below normal which is the main source of energy in the body. It is related to diabetes treatment or can be related to other drugs. Hypoglycemia needs immediate treatment when blood sugar levels are low. For some people, a fast blood sugar of 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or 3.9 millimoles per liter (mmol/L), or below should serve as an alert for hypoglycemia.

The head of a phospholipid interacts with water because it is
Delvig [45]
Hydrophilic

A phospholipid is comprised of a phosphate hydrophilic head, which means that it is "water-loving," and a fatty acid hydrophobic tail, which is "water-hating." The head and the tail are joined together by a glycerol molecule. 

The phosphate head is attracted to water because it is charged (i.e. negatively). Water is a polar molecule, which means that there is an uneven distribution of charges within its molecular structure with the oxygen side being "more negative" than the rest of the atom (which is "more positive" near the hydrogen). Thus, the negatively-charged nature of the phosphate head and the parts of the water molecule which are positively charged enable the two to form an "attraction" towards one another. 

On the other hand, the hydrophobic tail is nonpolar, which means that it does not have a "more positive" or "more negative" side or part in its molecular structure. These differences in structure with water make the hydrophobic tail unattracted to water molecules and more attracted to other uncharged, nonpolar molecules (such as fats and oils).
