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.

Stels [109]

To science we owe dramatic changes in our smug self-image. Astronomy taught us that our earth isn't the center of the universe but merely one of billions of heavenly bodies.
From biology we learned that we weren't specially created by God but evolved along with millions of other species.

Why was agriculture the worst mistake in human History?

Along with epidemic diseases, starvation, and malnutrition, farming also contributed to the creation of severe class distinctions.
Hunter-gatherers rely solely on the wild plants and animals they catch each day, with little to no food stored and no concentrated food sources, such as an orchard or a herd of cows.

Was the agricultural revolution good or bad?

Between 1700 and 1870, it is thought that both total agricultural output and output per worker increased by a factor of 2. 7 times.
Britain's agriculture is the most productive in Europe thanks to the Agricultural Revolution, with 19th-century yields up to 80% higher than the continental average.

How can chemical differentiation be used to explain the distribution of elements on Earth OR within our solar system?

N76 [4]

Answer:

Substances in nature rarely exist as single element but combination of more than one elements.

This combination of element is referred to as compounds.

These compounds can breakdown from temperature change or change in pressure and so on ,these atmospheric change exist in nature and with long climatic change over a period and could lead to elements recombining and could be transported to other areas from weathering.

Explain the movement of ribs during inhalation and exhalation.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Inspiration (breathing in)

The diaphragm contracts and moves downwards. The intercostal muscles contract and move the ribs upwards and outwards. This increases the size of the chest and decreases the air pressure inside it which sucks air into the lungs. During normal breathing, the major inspiratory muscles produce rib cage expansion and a downward movement of the diaphragm. These movements cause the pressure around and in the lung to become negative (relative to atmospheric pressure).
