How does the surface area-to-volume ratio limit cell size?

Biology
1 answer:
olganol [36]3 years ago

The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger. Thus, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. Hope I’ve helped ;)

Describe the function of each organelle.
Elis [28]

Answer:

Cytoplasm: Fluid between the cell membrane and the nucleus. helps protect organelles

Nucleus: A part of the cell containing hereditary information and is responsible for growth and reproduction; the "command center" of the cell.

Ribosome: A small particle in the cell that can make proteins.

Endoplasmic Reticulum: A cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another.

Golgi Apparatus: A cell structure that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell or for storage inside the cell.

Lysosome: Cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell, such as large food particles or old parts of the cell. May be found only in animal cells.

Vacuole: Saclike storage structure in the cell. can store water, nutrients, and even toxic substances.

Mitochondrion: An organelle containing enzymes responsible for producing energy. (Metabolism/respiration)

Chloroplast: An organelle found in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy (photosynthesis).

Cell membrane: The thin, flexible barrier around a cell; controls what enters and leaves the cell.

Cell wall: The structure outside of the cell membrane that is used to provide support and protection. Present in plants, algae, fungi, and many prokaryotes.

podryga [215]
<span>heterozygous / homozygous refers to whether both alleles for a gene are the same. The organism is homozygous if both alleles are the same - that is, either both are dominant or both are recessive. The organism is heterozygous if the alleles are different - that is, if one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive..
 the answer to the questions is A. </span><span>One parent was heterozygous for eye color and the other was homozygous with red eyes.</span>

Axons of the nervous system are described as afferent and efferent according to the direction in which they carry information. W
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The correct option is b) motor output of the spinal cord

Explanation:

Motor neurons, also called afferent neurons, drive impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the receptors (eg, muscles). They are the motor output component of the spinal cord.

The spinal cord is a cord of nerve tissue that runs inside the spine. It conducts the nerve impulses that arrive from the receptors to the brain, and the responses with the motor orders from the brain to the effector organs. Thus, the brain receives the information and can develop an order that modifies the reflex response given by the spinal cord. A spinal nerve has two nerve roots: a motor and a sensory root. The motor root has nerve fibers that carry signals from the spinal cord, to the muscles to stimulate contraction and produce muscle movements, the fibers are efferent as they leave the medulla to the periphery through the anterior roots of the spinal nerves.
