What is limited by a cell surface to a volume ratio

Biology
1 answer:
nevsk [136]3 years ago
8 0
The important point is that the surface area<span> to the </span>volume ratio<span> gets smaller as the </span>cell<span> gets larger. Thus, if the </span>cell<span>grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased </span>cellular volume<span>.</span>

Once you have been exposed to an antigen, you develop immunity against the same antigen because
Paha777 [63]
Because an antibody is "made" relative to the antigen, but kept at low levels when you are exposed the first time ("primary immune response"). The second time you're exposed to the same antigen, memory cells recognize it and the body produces a high level of antibodies, and the level of antibodies usually remains higher for a longer time ("secondary immune response"). This is your basic immune response (primary and secondary).

This explains exactly why vaccines are effective to extremely effective.

1. Describe the structure and function of each of the three types of RNA.
Ket [755]

Answer:

1.

mRNA - Messenger RNA: Encodes amino acid sequence of a polypeptide.

tRNA - Transfer RNA: Brings amino acids to ribosomes during translation.

rRNA - Ribosomal RNA: With ribosomal proteins, makes up the ribosomes, the organelles that translate the mRNA.

2.

Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied (transcribed) to mRNA, which carries the information needed for protein synthesis. Transcription takes place in two broad steps. First, pre-messenger RNA is formed, with the involvement of RNA polymerase enzymes.

3.

During translation, which is the second major step in gene expression, the mRNA is "read" according to the genetic code, which relates the DNA sequence to the amino acid sequence in proteins. Each group of three bases in mRNA constitutes a codon, and each codon specifies a particular amino acid (hence, it is a triplet code). The mRNA sequence is thus used as a template to assemble—in order—the chain of amino acids that form a protein.

Biology question:<br> Would pregnancy count as homeostasis?
Vanyuwa [196]

To be pregnant, an equilibrium in ph and chemical contents of the uterus and the outside environment has to be maintained, to prevent any reactions of the chemical sustances taken in by the person pregnant and the baby *has something to do with concentration gradient, hence yes, pregnancy can count as homeostasis
