PLEASE I NEED THIS ASAP If you had a cell that was cube-shaped with a side length of 20µm, calculate the surface to volume ratio

of the cell. Round your answer to the tenths place.

weeeeeb [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Ratio = 3\times 10^5

Explanation:

Side of a cube, a = 20 µm

a=20\times 10^{-6}\ m

The surface area of a cube, A = 6a² (a is side of the cube)

The volume of a cube, V = a³

The ratio of the surface to volume ratio of the cell will be given by :

R=\dfrac{6a^2}{a^3}\\\\R=\dfrac{6}{a}\\\\R=\dfrac{6}{20\times 10^{-6}}\\\\R=3\times 10^5

So, the ratio of the surface to volume ratio of the cell 3\times 10^5.

What are the common promoter elements found in eukaryotic genes, and how are they different from enhancer elements?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

In eukaryotic cells you find core and proximal promoters.

Promotors are specific DNA sequences where transcription factors (proteins) and RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription. Promotors are located upstream the coding sequence

Core promoters are where RNA polymersae binds and proximal promoters are where transcription factors bind.

Enhancer elements are DNA sequences where transcription factors (proteins) bind to increase the rate of expresion of an specific gene. Enhancers can be located either upstream,  downstream or thousands of nucleotids away  from the of the coding region.

Explanation:

Promoters and enhancer are key elements for controling gene regulation. Transcription begins when chromatin rearranges from a condensed state to a accesible state, this allow to transcrition factors and RNA polymerase to  bind specif DNA sequences (promotors).  Proteins bind to enhancers , this complex develops a DNA loop, so that the protein that is bound to the enhancer interacts with the RNA polymersase. When this interaction is made, the activity of the RNA polymerase is increased.

In which layer does mantle convection occur? ​
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The correct answer is asthenosphere.

Explanation:

The Earth comprises four layers, that is, the crust, the mantle, the inner core, and the outer core. The magnetic field of the Earth is the amalgamation of the convection it attains from the Coriolis Effect and the outer core. The layer of the Earth where convection of the mantle takes place is the asthenosphere.

Adherens junctions ______________________. (a) can be used to bend epithelial sheets into tubes. (b) are most often found at the
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

(a) can be used to bend epithelial sheets into tubes.

Explanation:

The adherens junctions are cell-cell adhesions localized in places exposed to abrasion or mechanical stress, close to the apical membrane in epithelial cells is one of these locations. Some of their functions are the initiation and stabilization of cell-cell adhesion, <em>they join the actin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane to form adhesive contacts between cells that contribute to the folding and bending of epithelial sheets,</em> therefore they can mediate adhesion and signaling.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
