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. :)

Is all the options increase, which ones would serve to remove CO2 from the atmosphere?​
levacccp [35]

Answer:

A. Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in plants produce food materials by absorbing carbondioxide from the atmosphere which decreases the concentration of carbondioxide in the atmosphere. In photosynthesis reaction, plant take water from the soil and carbondioxide from the atmosphere in the presence of sunlight produces glucose and oxygen. Glucose is stored in different parts of plant such as grains, stem and roots while oxygen is released in the atmosphere.

DaniilM [7]
The correct answer is: marsupials.

Marsupials are actually defined by their ability to hold the young in the pouches, where they can be well protected. Some examples are Kangaroos and Koalas.


Other answers are wrong: for example, gymnosperms are plants, not animals.

In a sample of 2,400 people, 1,482 were found to have the dominant (taster) phenotype. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

1128.

Explanation:

The dominant taster phenotype is 1482.

The recessive taster phenotype = 2400 – 1482 = 918 .

Recessive phenotypes = 2400 – 1482 = 918

The recessive phenotype frequency = q² = 918 / 2400 = 0.38.

the recessive allele frequency q = √0.38 = 0.62.

The dominant allele frequency, p = 1-q = 1- 0.62 = 0.38

The heterozygous frequency =  2pq = 2 ×0.38 × 0.62 = 0.47 .

The heterozygous individual in the population = 0.47 × 2400 = 1128.

Thus, the answer is 1128.
