What limits the maximum size of a cell

Biology

Oliga [24]3 years ago

The primary limitation on the size to which a single cell can grow is a mathematical principle called the surface to volume ratio. As the size of a three-dimensional object grows, its volume increases more rapidly than its surface does, which causes metabolic problems for cells. Additionally, the amount of cytoplasm the nucleus can contain and the structural limitations on the cell prevent them from being larger as well.

Factors limiting the size of cells include: Surface area to volume ratio. Nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio. Fragility of cell membrane

The solutions in the two arms of this U-tube are separated by a membrane that is permeable to water and glucose but not to sucro
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is: the level of liquid in Side A will rise.

Explanation:

  • Sucrose is formed of two molecules of glucose but the membrane is impermeable to it.
  • The given membrane is said to be permeable to water and glucose.
  • Through a semi-permeable membrane, molecules tend to move from a region where its concentration is high to another region where its concentration is low by the process of diffusion until its concentration in the two regions becomes equal. This phenomenon is known as Osmosis.
  • Concentration gradient of a molecule can be defined as the difference in the concentration of the molecule in two different regions separated by a semi-permeable membrane.
  • Considering glucose, the concentration of glucose is low in side A (1M) and high in side B (2M), so it will tend to move from side B to side A down its concentration gradient.
  • Considering sucrose, although its concentration is high in side A (2M) but low in side B (1M), it is unable to move as the membrane is impermeable to it.
  • Water tend to move from a region where the concentration of solute is low (or water concentration is high) to a region where the concentration of solute is high (or water concentration is low).
  • Due to the movement of glucose from side B to side A, the concentration of total solute concentration becomes high in side A as compared to side B. Therefore, water would move from side B to side A.
  • Hence the level of liquid in Side A will rise after sometime.

Rachel Carson wrote about the delicate balance of organisms in a food web. Snakeheads, a freshwater fish that is not normally fo
kirill [66]
The snakehead could unreservedly eat little fish and scavangers, so that would evacuate/diminish the predator for zooplankton and phytoplankton. So zooplankton and phytoplankton populace would increment while little fish and scavanger populace would diminish. Presently if little fish and shellfish populace diminishes, their predators would have bring down sustenance, so vast fish pop. would diminish. On the off chance that vast fish pop. diminishes, their predators will have less nourishment thus the number of inhabitants in well evolved creatures will somewhat drop, however not by much, since they can feast upon zooplankton. 
So at last, just the phytoplankton populace would increment while everything else diminishes.
