Answer:

The correct answer is d.  increases at a slower rate.

Explanation:

As the volume of a cell increases a cell grows bigger but unfortunately the surface area does do not increase as faster as the volume, therefore, the relative surface area amount which is available to pass the molecule across plasma membrane per unit volume decreases.

Therefore as the cell increase in size the surface area to volume ratio decreases. So if a cell grows more than its limit it will get difficult to move molecule fastly across its membrane. Therefore the correct answer is d.

A farmer ,sangay , plants chilli in the first year .He than plants beans in the same field next year ..
Gnom [1K]

Answer/Explanation:

Chilli and Beans are two different groups of crops having different nutrient requirement for them to grow well.

Beans is a leguminous crop that can help fix nitrogen back to the soil after the soil nitrogen content has been depleted by crops that use up nitrogen in the soil.

So, one of the possible reasons why Sangay plants Chilli the first, and beans the next year could be to ensure optimal productivity, as beans would replenish the soil with nitrogen. Also, both crops have different nutrient requirement. Nutrient requirement for both crops vary.

Why are the cells produced by meiosis considered gametes?
BigorU [14]
Gametes are cells used to sexual reproduction. they are haploids and that means they have just one set of chromosomes (most of the cells of our body have 2 sets). that kind of cells is produced mainly by meiotic division of the gamete's stem cell (called oogonium or spermatogonium) and that's why meiosis usually leads to the production of gametes. gametes are haploids so that they could combine (egg with sperm cell) and create the whole new organism (adult organism is almost always diploid).
