As the size of a cell increases

Biology
1 answer:
Hoochie [10]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answers are-

a. Its metabolic demands increase.

b. It's surface area-to-volume ratio decreases.

c. Its ability to transport enough nutrients in and transport wastes out to meet cellular metabolic demands decreases.

Explanation:

As the size of a cell increases the surface area to volume ratio decrease. So a big cell has less surface area and small volume. Therefore surface area for transfer of metabolic substance per unit volume decreases so the cell's ability to transport enough nutrients in and transport wastes out to meet cellular metabolic demands also decreases.

But due to an increase in the volume of the cell the metabolic demand of cell increases because a larger cell requires more nutrients than a smaller cell to survive which can not be fulfilled efficiently due to less surface-area-to-volume ratio.

Therefore the correct answer is a, b, and c.

Here are some examples of Endocytosis and Exocytosis:

Endocytosis= Example 1: food of Euglena, paramecium

                      Example 2: WBCs engulfing bacteria

How is the temperature of a location determined by energy from the sun and the location’s distance from the equator?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Energy from the sun is transferred to Earth's surface. Some of that energy is then transferred to the air above the surface. The closer a location is to the equator, the more energy it receives from the sun. Therefore, a location's air temperature is affected by its distance from the equator.

Would biodynamics be classified as science or pseudoscience and why?​
lawyer [7]

Biodynamics advocates natural, chemical-free, integrated practices to promote regenerative and self-sustaining agriculture, which appears to be a good thing.

However, woven throughout it is a great deal of mysticism and spirituality, involving ideas about 'life forces' and 'cosmic energies,' which were a hallmark of Steiner's theories and are far from scientific.

Biodynamics has been referred to as "pseudoscience" and even a "belief system" on several occasions, and while it has many pragmatic and level-headed practitioners, it also has a very wacky fringe.

A recent piece on the site 'Word on the Grapevine' sparked the newest round of controversy, with the author, Joshua Dunning, delving into the more esoteric aspects of biodynamics.
