Answer:
As a cell grows in size, the surface area gets bigger, but the volume gets bigger faster. Thinking about this as a ratio (division), the volume is the denominator and the surface area is the numerator. If the volume is getting very big, then the ratio itself will be getting very small.
Answer:
c. Tubulin
Explanation:
Tubulin protein is polymerized to form the cylindrical structures of microtubules. Microtubules form the spindle apparatus during cell division. The spindle microtubules become attached to the kinetochores of chromosomes and mediate the alignment of chromosomes at the equator of cells during metaphase. The shortening of spindle microtubules is responsible for the movement of sister chromatids during anaphase. The same event also moves the homologous chromosomes during anaphase-I.
Any failure in the formation of the spindle apparatus would not allow the proper separation of chromosomes. Therefore, the cell with abnormal chromosome separation might have a faulty or no tubulin.
The four major organic compunds are lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Lipids are used to store energy, insulate insulate, and they help build cell membranes. Examples of lipids are fats, oils, and waxes.
Carbohydrates are used to give us quick energy and they help build cell walls. Examples of carbohydrates include bread, pasta, cereal, and rice.
The role of proteins is to build our bodies, help our immune system, and help cells communicate. Such examples include meat, beans, eggs, fish, nuts, soy, and dairy.
Finally, Nucleic acids are used to store gentetic info. Anything plant or animal based is considered a nucleic acid.
The function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell from any outer surroundings that could be harmful to it.
