The effect of cell size on material transport

1 answer:

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.

Why were no chloroplasts found in the onion cells? (hint: think about where you find onions)

Ivan

Onion is an underground crop and it have no involvement in the photosynthesis. So it have no chloroplast in their cell.

which of the following would be least likely to happen as a result of a mutation in a person's skin cells?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Its the person's offspring have mutated skin.
because for a mutation to be passed down to an offspring mutation has to happen in the sex cells. so that is the least likely to happen.
since the other may happen for example.
skin cancer: i am not sure how but definitely sure that it is the second least that is gonna happen. (trust me)
reduced functioning of skin cell yes.: if there are changes in the nucleotides which can give a diff amino acid.
and no change. cuz if the mutation occurs but the nucleotides still codes for the same amino acid then there is no problem!!
