The effect of cell size on material transport

Biology
1 answer:
4vir4ik [10]3 years ago
6 0
The greater the surface area of a cell, the faster the cell can transport materials across its membrane because there is more area to absorb/excrete materials. We also want the surface area much higher than the volume of a cell. the more volume a cell has the slower the transport of diffusion will be. If the cell is smaller because it has a higher surface area than it does volume. Because of this larger SA:V ratio, smaller cells will transport materials faster.

If a ligand were stuck in the g-protein-linked receptor, what would be the effect to the cell?.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The pathway would be over active, If a ligand were stuck in the G-protein-linked receptor.

<h3>What usually happens when a ligand binds to a receptor protein?</h3>

When the ligand attached to the internal receptor, a change occurs that shows at DNA-binding site on the protein.

The ligand-receptor complex moves into the nucleus where it binds itself to regions of the chromosomal DNA. It promotes the initiation of the process of transcription so we can conclude that if a ligand were stuck in the G-protein-linked receptor, the pathway would be over active.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The answer to these questions are the following:

1. sucrose solution (higher concentration of water molecules in the onion cells) >> red onion cells will shrink >> smaller diameter

2. distilled water (higher concentration of water molecules in the surrounding solution) >> red onion cells will become turgid >> higher diameter

Osmosis refers to the movement of a solvent (usually water molecules) across semipermeable biological membranes, which occurs from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. There are three classes of solutions that have different effects on cells due to the process of osmosis:

1. In a hypotonic solution, the cells will become turgid  

2. In an isotonic solution, the cells will become flaccid.  

3. In a hypertonic solution, the cells will shrink (plasmolysis)

When plant cells are placed into a hypertonic solution where there is a greater concentration of solute outside the cells (as in this case sucrose solution), water molecules will move from inside the cells to outside the cells, thereby cells will shrink due to water loss

When plant cells are placed into a hypotonic solution that is diluted in comparison to the content of the cell (as in this case plant cells placed in distilled water) water molecules will move from outside the cells to inside the cells, thereby cells will become turgid.
