The cell's volume increases more rapidly.
Let's say you have a cube. When it's side have a length of one, the SA us 6 units while the volume is only one. By the time it's 10 by 10 by 10, the SA is 600 and the volume is 1,000.

Which of the following does NOT occur in cells? Group of answer choices The conversion of sunlight into energy stored in chemica
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The use of heat to burn foodstuffs

The use of chemical energy to transport organelles through the cytosol

Explanation:

In plant cells, sunlight energy is converted into chemical energy in a process known as photosynthesis which happens in the chloroplast.

During respiration, cells generally metabolize nutrients to produce useful energy in the form of ATP.

<em>Heat is not used to burn foodstuffs in any cell while organelles are not transported through the cytosol in any cell.</em>

Rotenone, a toxic compound isolated from plants, strongly inhibits the transfer of electrons from iron-sulfur centers in Complex
Darya [45]

Answer:

(A) It prevents electron flow from the iron-sulfur centers in complex 1 to the ubiquinone. Due to reduction in electron transfer rate, there is a decrease in the production of ATP which is dangerous for some insects and fish over time.

(B) It also prevents electron flow from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1 at the complex III which leads to QH2 accumulation. If oxidized Q is not present, these is alteration of electron flow and the production of ATP is altered.

(C) Rotenone only prevent electron transfer into the chain at Complex 1  but it does not affect electron transfer at Complex II. Although there is slow ETC, it does not stop completely. However, Antimycin A prevents the oxidation of QH2, the final electron acceptor crom complex I and complex II. Thereby, stopping the production of both ETC and ATP. It can be concluded that antimycin A is a more potent poison.

Explanation:

Rotenone prevents electron flow from the iron-sulfur centers in complex 1 to the ubiquinone. Due to a reduction in electron transfer rate, there is a decrease in the production of ATP which is dangerous for some insects and fish over time. Antimycin A also prevents electron flow from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1 at the complex III which leads to QH2 accumulation. If oxidized Q is not present, there is an alteration of electron flow and the production of ATP is altered. Antimycin A is more potent than rotenone.
