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 these statements is NOT a cause of the controversy? a. Henrietta died of cervical cancer b. Henrietta was not told abou
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. It is not a cause of the controversy the fact that Henrietta died of cervical cancer.

Explanation:

The fact that Henrietta has died as a result of the development of cervical cancer is not in itself controversial, since cancer as such is a random situation that cannot be predicted or avoided by doctors, but only treated medically. once developed.

However, the fact that the treatment has been sold for a very high amount in the case of a poor family (since economic interests were prioritized over the right to health), the fact that Henrietta has not been informed regarding the cells (violating their right to information and the protection of their health), and the fact that private genetic information has been publicly disclosed (since in that case, the right to privacy would also be violated).
