Are tyere any mammalian cells that would be a good source for dividing cells?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question appear wrong. Cells do not divide other cells as cells have the ability to undergo individual cell division as seen in cell cycle. However, there are some factors that could lead to increased cell division; factors such as cancer and viral infection can lead to increased division of certain cell types.

There is also a cell organelle present in mammalian cells that facilitates the division of a cell - this organelle is known as centriole. Centrioles do this by assisting in the separation of chromosomes during the mitotic phase of the cell cycle.

Many fast- acting medications are sold as powders, sometimes inside soluble capsules. Why would these medications act faster tha
Serjik [45]

Answer: the increased surface area aids in the better absorption of drugs.

Explanation: According to Noyes- Whitney equation, increased absorption of drugs depends on the rate of dissolution which is modified by altering the surface area. Reduction of the drug size from solid to powder form increases the specific surface area and the dissolution rate. This unique quantity makes it a fast acting medication since it's absorbed faster.
