What happens when a cell gets larger and larger?

1 answer:

4 0

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. :)

How is it possible for someone to put an ear to a wall and hear someone in the next room?

erik [133]

The answer is A. Sound can travel through matter (solids, liquids, and gases). Sound travels faster in solids, then slower in liquids and slowest in the air. When the person in the next room makes noise, the sound travels through the air in their room, through the solid wall and in the air in your room and into your ear.

Answer:

Carolus Linnaeus devised the binomial nomenclature system under which the organisms were named using their Genus name and Species name. The Genus name was written first, forward by the species name. The system of binomial nomenclature allowed for assigning a scientific name to all the organisms so that the conversations between scientists could be made easier. For example, humans have the scientific name, Homo Sapiens, where Homo is the genus name and sapiens is the species name.
