The term that describes the environment inside the cell is hypotonic.

Hypotonic environment is a solution that has a reduced osmotic pressure than a certain fluid, usually a body fluid. In a hypotonic solution, all the dissolved solute molecules have a molar concentration that is lower than that of another solution or a cell. When a cell is exposed to a hypotonic environment, there is movement of water into the cell and the cell may burst if it does not have a cell wall.

What is the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere with the following
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

0.4\ \frac{1}{m}

Explanation:

Let

x ----> the surface area of a sphere

y ---> the volume of a sphere

we know that

The ratio of surface area to volume of a sphere is equal to divide the surface area by the volume of the sphere

\frac{x}{y}

we have

x=588\ m^2\\y=1,372\ m^3

substitute the values

\frac{588}{1,372}=0.4\ \frac{1}{m}

It is crucial that the process of mitosis is error free. This is because otherwise healthy cells can
kherson [118]

The correct answer is that it becomes cancer cells.  

Mitosis refers to the kind of cell differentiation, which leads to the formation of two daughter cells, and each comprising the same type and amount of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, generally of ordinary tissue growth.  

The process of mitosis should be error free as otherwise healthy cells can turn into cancer cells. Cancer is basically a disorder of mitosis, in this case, the usual checkpoints, which are monitoring mitosis are overridden or ignored by the cancer cells.  

Cancer initiates when a single cell is converted or transformed into a normal cell to a cancer cell and is generally taking place due to a modification in function of one of many genes, which usually work to monitor growth, like p53 gene or tumor suppressor gene.
