Answer:

A), C) and D)

Explanation:

It is important for the cell to maintain a high surface area: volume ratio so that the gaseous exchange and movement of nutrients and waste material occurs efficiently across the cell membrane. Should the cell expand, then the volume would increase, decreasing the surface area: volume ratio. This would decrease the rate of movement of nutrients and waste material across the cell membrane, also the energy demand of the cell would be higher compared to a smaller cell.

Thus, cell division occurs to circumvent this.

Which scientific information most likely lead to school districts requiring vaccines? some required vaccines have side effects.
likoan [24]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. The scientific information that most likely lead to school districts requiring vaccines would be that vaccines prevent diseases and can improve a school’s safety.  Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

What is the difference between a GMO and cloning
viktelen [127]

Answer:

A GMO Genetically Modified Product though similar to cloning is quite different. Cloning is the process of using egg cells from an individual to produce a new organism. When the baby is born, it is genetically identical to the parent, an exact copy. This process occurs in a lab. Genetic Engineering, which is used to make GMOs,  uses technology to alter or change an organism's genes. New genetic information can be added to or removed from an existing set of DNA.

<em>So I would say that some of the differences between GMOs and cloning include that:</em>

Cloning strives to create exact copies of an organism's parent while GMOs remove and add different genes to form desired offsprings like making a product last longer or making the product grow larger faster.

Hopefully, this helped you! Have a nice day :)

A new microorganism is isolated from a lake and is placed into a solution of KCl. The voltage difference across its membrane is
Leona [35]

Answer: \Delta U= 1.922x10⁻²⁰ Joules

Explanation: <u>Electric</u> <u>Potential</u> <u>Energy</u> (U) is the energy a charged object has due to its location in an electric field and it will only exist with the object is charged.

<u>Voltage</u> or <u>Electric</u> <u>Potential</u> <u>Difference</u> (V) is external work done to move a charge from one point to another in a electric field.

These terms have a relationship, which is given by:

\Delta U=q\Delta V

where

q is the charge

Proton is positive and has a charge of 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C.

Unit for potential energy is Joule (J). The relation between mV and J is

1mV = 10⁻³J

Then:

V = 120x10⁻³

V = 0.12

So, for a proton to move from the negative side of a membrane to the positive:

\Delta U=q\Delta V

\Delta U=1.6.10^{-19}.0.12

\Delta U = 1.922 x 10⁻²⁰

Energy necessary to transport a proton from negative side of the membrane to the positive is 1.922 x 10⁻²⁰J.
