Surface area to volume ratios affect living things ability to obtain needed resources in element waste products. Explain why cel

Answer:

Cells are small because they need to keep a surface area to volume ratio that allows for adequate intake of nutrients while being able to excrete the cells waste. That is why the cell needs to be small. The smaller it is, the larger the surface area to volume ratio is.

Eukaryotic cells are compartmentalized which is a method to increase the surface area as there are lots of membranes inside the cell across which many processes take place.

Biologists sometimes divide living organisms into two groups: autotrophs and heterotrophs. these two groups differ in ________.
Alina [70]
Their source of carbon. Autotrophs obtain their carbon from inorganic sources such as from atmospheric carbon dioxide. Examples of autotrophs include plants, and euglena ( a protist).
Heterotrophs on the other hand, obtain their carbon from organic sources such as other organisms. Examples of heterotrophs include all secondary consumers, and decomposers.

Why does NADH and FADH2 donate their H+ to the electron transport chain readily?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

b. Because they have a low affinity for the H+

Explanation:

All electrons that enter the transport chain come from NADH and FADH2 molecules that are produced in earlier phases of cellular respiration: glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation and the citric acid cycle.

NADH is very good at donating electrons in redox reactions (that is, its electrons are at a high energy level), so you can transfer your electrons directly to complex I and transform it back into NAD +. The movement of electrons through complex I in a series of redox reactions releases energy, which the complex uses to pump protons from the matrix into the intermembrane space.

FADH2 is not as good for donating electrons as NADH (that is, its electrons are at a lower energy level), so it cannot transfer its electrons to complex I. Instead, it introduces electrons to the transport chain through complex II, which does not pump protons through the membrane.

What is the role of dna polymerase during dna synthesis? what is the role of dna polymerase during dna synthesis? dna polymerase
4vir4ik [10]
The correct answer is DNA polymerase is the enzyme that catalyzes the addition of a nucleotide onto the 3' end of a growing DNA strand.   

DNA polymerase adds nucleotides one by one to the 3’ end of the growing DNA chain, incorporating only those that are complementary to the “old” DNA strain.<span>The addition of nucleotides requires energy which comes from the nucleotides themselves (phosphates).</span>
