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.

jolli1 [7]

The plant tissue that is most likely to store water in the cactus plant is vascular tissue.

<h3>What is vascular tissue?</h3>

Vascular tissue is made up of xylem and phloem.

The main function of vascular tissue is to transport water and minerals to parts of plants.

The vascular tissue in the cactus helps to transport water to the spines.

It also stores water for a long period of time.

Thus, the correct option is vascular tissue.

DedPeter [7]

When obtaining the health history from a client with retinal detachment, a nurse expects the client to report FOR SOME ISSUES RELATED TO EYE SUCH AS LIGHT FLASHES AND FLOATERS IN FRONT OF EYES.
Retinal detachment is a medical condition where the retina is pulled away from the blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen. If not treated timely, it can lead to permanent loss of eye sight.

Due to the fact that we possess enzymes that break down the alpha linkages in starch, the glucose molecules that make up amylose

dedylja [7]

The answer is: A. True

Complex sugars or polysaccharides are composed of basic units called monosaccharides that are linked via glycosidic bonds. Glycosidic bond is formed through condensation reactions (water is released) that occur between a hydroxyl (OH) oxygen atom on one sugar and the α-anomeric form of C-1 on the other. There are are two types of glycosidic bonds:

- 1,4 alpha ( the OH is below the glucose ring)

- 1,4 beta glycosidic bonds (the OH is above the glucose ring)

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into smaller glucose molecules, it act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds and it works in mouth where the digestion begins (salivary amylase) . Maltase breaks down maltose into glucose; sucrase, breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose; and lactase, which breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose work in small intestine and also act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds.
