Compare the rates of cell division occurring in your neurons and your hair follicles.

1 answer:

5 0

Once you finish growing to adulthood, neurons stop dividing. Hair follicle cells constantly divide throughout your lifetime since they are constantly producing cells that become part of the hair itself as they die. So in an adult, the rate of cell division for neurons is zero (although there is some counter-evidence but it is certainly very low) while the hair follicle rate is much higher on the order of once every few days or faster.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<h3>Nucleocytoplasmic exchange of materials</h3>

<h3>In eukaryotic cells, the nucleus is bound by a double membrane or nuclear envelope. It possesses openings at certain intervals called as 'nuclear pore'. Nuclear pores are large protein complexes regulates the exchange of material between nucleus and cytoplasm, i.e., nucleo-cytoplasmic exchange of materials. </h3><h3 />

Animals lose heat through the surface areas of their skin. A small animal, such as a mouse, uses a much larger proportion of its

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Because of the difference in surface area to volume ratio

Explanation:

Surface are to volume ratio is the area of an object that is exposed to the external environment (surface area), compared to the amount within an object (volume).

Therefore an elephant has a lower surface area to volume ratio than a mouse.

The smaller an object is the greater its surface area to volume ratio.

Small animals have much more surface area per mass than large animals. With so much surface area, they lose heat very quickly. So, a mouse, with a lot of surface area per mass, must spend a lot more energy to stay warm than a large animal.
