Answer:
a) when cells are small the movement of food and waste can be efficiently handled by the cell membrane
Explanation:
Cells need to get their nutrients and waste in and out of their cell membrane every quickly. Cells are hard workers anyway! The other options also don't make much sense. The cell shape doesn't mean much to their function, and size doesn't impact shape. The cell's internal parts (mitochondria, vacuole, etc) don't support the cell membrane, they have their own functions to focus on. Cells don't work together in tissue but they can interact with each other when needed.
Answer:
This question have two parts.
Question 1. Is a 0.185 M aqueous solution of sodium sulfate, Na2SO4, hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic to red blood cells?
Answer:
Hypotonic because sodium sulfate is a detergent which can cross the lipid bi-layer.
Question 2. If normal red blood cells were suspended in this Na2SO4 solution, what would be the expected outcome?
Answer:
Hemolysis (Bursting of Red blood cells) will occur due to excessive movement of water inside the cell resulting from sodium sulfate solution.

"Power House" Releases energy to help cell carry out lifes process. Process that plants and animals cells use to break down food into energy. A plant break down sugar and releases energy just like animals cells do.
