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.

Rus_ich [418]

The wall of the left ventricle is thicker than that of the right - True

The left ventricle pumps more blood than the right - False

<u>Explanation:</u>

Heart has 4 number of chambers. One among these chambers is the left ventricle. Among the four cambers of the heart, the thick one is the left ventricle. It appears below the left atrium. The left ventricle is present in the bottom left part of the heart. When the contraction of heart occurs the blood from the valve called mitral enters the left atrium from the left atrium.  

The left ventricle transports the oxygenated blood to the human body. The left ventricle needs along these things for pumping the blood. The right ventricle can function by itself and is more powerful than left ventricle. The right ventricle is responsible in pumping blood to the lungs on its own.
