As the size of a cell increases

Biology
1 answer:
Hoochie [10]3 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.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of pioneer species ?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

They remain in an environment,even as more competitive species arrive

Explanation:

Pioneer species, in ecological succession, are the first set of organisms to colonize a bare area of land or a disturbed area of land. Pioneer species include lichens, grasses, fungi etc.

Pioneer species have unique characteristics that distinguishes them from every other species of organism. These include:

- They facilitate environmental change, making an environment more habitable for other species.

- They tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions.

- They are capable of colonizing a barren environment, as in primary succession.

However, pioneer species do not remain in an environment, even as more competitive species arrive. They rather give way for new species to emerge and dominate.

kvasek [131]

The correct answer is Alcoholic dementia.

Alcohol-related dementia (ARD) is a type of dementia brought on by prolonged, excessive alcohol use, which damages the brain and impairs cognitive function.

Wet brain, sometimes referred to as Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, is another type of ARD that is characterized by short-term memory loss and thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency.

Patients with ARD frequently exhibit both type's symptoms, such as memory loss, apathy, and impaired planning. ARD may coexist with different types of dementia (mixed dementia). Despite being widely accepted, the diagnosis of ARD is only occasionally used because there aren't any clear diagnostic criteria.

Hence, the patients with generalized loss of brain tissue due to direct consumption of alcohol suffers from alcoholic dementia which causes memory loss and many other problems.
