Why is the largest single cell organism only 5cm

Biology

netineya [11]3 years ago

The remaining cells can divide and make new cells to heal the wound. But an organism made of one large single cell will die from even a small wound, because the inside contents of its single cell will leak out and it has no backup cells to preserve its life therefore cells can't be that large in size.

Hope this helps!

Biologists used the world's largest single-celled organism, an aquatic alga called Caulerpa taxifolia, to study the nature of structure and form in plants. It is a single cell that can grow to a length of six to twelve inches.

Follicle cells in your scalp assemble proteins to build new hair. This most likely involves __________ reactions.
Zarrin [17]

Follicle cells in your scalp assemble proteins to build new hair. This most likely involves dehydration synthesis reactions.

Dehydration synthesis forms a peptide bond between amino acids and releases a water molecule. Amino acids connected via peptide bonds form a polypeptide chain, which then chemically interact with other polypeptides in order to create a complex three-dimensional structure of the protein.

B. Mutations cause a person's body cells to divide uncontrollably. There isn't a signal for cells to stop dividing, so this can cause cancer because cancer cells won't stop dividing without this signal.

This type of membrane transport moves substances against the concentration gradient from an area of low concentration to an area
sashaice [31]

<u>Answer</u>:- Active transport

<u>Explanation</u>:-

There are two types of membrane transports

1. Passive transport - this type of transport occurs without the input of any energy and the molecules move along the concentration gradients that is from <em>high concetration to low concentration.</em>

2. Active transport- this type of transport takes place to move the molecules against the concentration gradient that is from <em>low concentration to high concentration.</em>

<em>The active transport is of two types:</em>

1. <em>Primary active transport-</em> in this type of transport <em>ATP</em> is used as an energy source to move the substances against the concentration gradient.

2.<em>Secondary active transport</em> - in this type of transport the gradient formed by the active transport is utilized and it involves the movement of 2 substances at a time aross the membrane. That is the movement of one molecule is coupled to another.


  • The membrane proteins that are associated with active transport are called as <em>carrier proteins</em>. These proteins have a binding site for the molecules that they transport. Once they bind to the specific molecules, a conformation change is induced and this leads to the transport of the molecule across the membrane.

So, the <em>active transport is basically responsible for utilizing the energy from ATP and carrier proteins to move the substances across the membrane against their concentration gradient i.e. from low concentration to high concentration.</em>
