Answer:

Surface area to volume ratio

Explanation:

Cell contains both a proper surface area as well as a volume it occupies.

The structure of cell vary based on their functions, like neurons are cells which are longer in size as they have to transmit messages from one cell to another.

The size of a cell also not remains same during whole its life. When the cell is in its growth period , its surface area increases less quickly than its volume.

A smaller cell is more effective and transporting materials, including waste products, than a larger cell. So, if the cell has to become very very large in size, it must has to increase its surface area. However, the less surface area of a cell hinders the nutrients uptake of a cell that is required for its maintenance.

So, we can say that Surface area to volume ratio is the important factor that limits cell size.


Hope it help!

Which statements about the modification of chromatin structure in eukaryotes are true? Select all that apply.
Crank

Ans.

Chromatin molecules are made up of DNA and histone proteins. Modification of chromatin structure include covalent, post-translational changes in histone proteins, present in chromation. Acetylation and methylation are two important histone modifications that affect structure of chromatin molecules.

Acetylation involves addition of an acetyl group to histones that increases transcription of DNA by loosen the association between DNA and nucleosome.

Methylation involves addition of a methyl group to histones that results in condensation of chromatin molecule and thus, decreases transcription of DNA.

Both acetylation and methylation are reversible processes.

Many chromatin modifications are genetic, means they can pass from one generation to another generation, called epigenetic modifications.

Thus, options B), C), D), E), and F).
