Why is having a large surface area important for a cell?

Biology
1 answer:
grandymaker [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

One beneficial result of a cell having a larger surface area is its ability to cover more area increasing the likely hood of nutrients coming in contact with the cell membrane. Which in turn will increase the rate at which nutrients diffuse through the cell membrane.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Nutrition

Explanation:

Here, the answer cannot be absorption or digestion just because they are asking about intake of food, water and minerals. Digestion is a full fledged process during which food is chemically and mechanically transformed into a form through which energy can be obtained. The oprocess of digestion requires a complete digestive system that can be as simple as a vacuole in unicellular organism like eubacterium or as specialized as those of mammals like humans. Its not just about intake of food, but process of food transformation.

On the other hand, nutrition at cellular level is the process in which nutrients are obtained in any form, whether minerals, food or water. These nutrients act as our dietry supplementation and constitute the basics of our healthy diet.

Therefore, Nutrition is the correct answer.

Hope it helps! :)

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

D. physiological mechanisms are the basis of behaviors.

Explanation:

The example of the development of electric fields as part of the communication between some fish, shows the interrelation that exists between physiology and behavior. This physiological factor that fish have has an impact on their behavior. However, it is necessary to recognize that physiology does not act by itself, but needs to receive a stimulus from the surrounding environment. This way of communicating is called  electrocommunication, a fish generates through its physiology an electric field and a second individual receives that electric field with its electroreceptors.

explain why the top of an energy pyramid does not have an arrow showing energy going back down to the bottom.
SCORPION-xisa [38]
<span>The answer to your question is that all of the energy is ultimately radiated into empty outer space as heat. The second law of thermodynamics mandates that all processes that involve the transfer of energy MUST radiate a portion of this energy into space as waste heat. This is why when you run down the street you get hot and sweaty, and this is why automobiles MUST have a functioning radiator and nuclear power stations MUST have evaporation cooling towers or else be located near a large body of water to exchange excess waste heat into, etc., etc. It is also true that the transfer of energy at each step up the food chain is very inefficient. They say it takes around 50 lbs of corn to produce one pound of beef, and it probably takes 20-30 pounds of beef to produce one pound of human tissue. The rest of the energy just goes into your living room as radiated body heat. I hope this helps.</span>
