What is the process in which bacteria take up pieces of DNA from their environment?

God PLEASE help. What does surface area-to-volume ratio, diffusion rate, and time for substances have anything to do with reachi

sasho [114]

Answer:

Surface area to volume ratio, in simple means the size of surface area to the volume of substance that can pass through it at a particular time.

Amoeba and some bacterias are flat and have large surface area to volume ratio. So the diffusion rate is very high due to large surface area.

Where as humans have small surface area: volume so diffusion is very slow or does not take place at all.

Explanation:

As the ratio gets smaller, it takes longer for items to diffuse.

Explanation:

When the cell increases in size, the volume increases faster than the surface area, because volume is cubed where surface area is squared.

When there is more volume and less surface area, diffusion takes longer and is less effective. This is because there is a greater area that needs to receive the substance being diffused, but less area for that substance to actually enter the cell.

this is actually why cells divide. When they become too large and it takes too long for them to transport materials across the cell, they lose efficiency and divide in half to raise the surface area to volume ratio.

Answer:

She has two recessive color blindness alleles.

Explanation:

The expression of arecessive phenotype requires both X chromosomes of the female to each contain a recessive color blindness allele. This genotype would the determine the mother would be color blind.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: nitrogen , CALCIUM , nitrogen , Carbon-14 , Mercury , Boron

Explanation:

A. nitrogen

The atomic number of nitrogen is 7. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons make up an atom of nitrogen-15? Socratic.

B. CALCIUM

CALCIUM - I have 20 neutrons and am found in your teeth and bones

C. nitrogen

The atomic number of nitrogen is 7. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons make up an atom of nitrogen-15? Socratic.

D. Carbon-14

Carbon-14 atoms have two extra neutrons, giving them a total of 8 neutrons. Carbon-14 has an atomic mass of 14 ( = 6 protons + 8 neutrons).

E. Mercury

Mercury is a chemical element with symbol Hg and atomic number 80.

F. Boron group element, any of the six chemical elements constituting Group 13 (IIIa) of the periodic table. The elements are boron (B), aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), thallium (Tl), and nihonium (Nh).
