Cells need to be small in order to make exchanging materials faster. This is because, as the size of the cell increases (if we were to increase the size), then the volume increases faster than the surface area. We want more surface area, so this isn't effective if we increase the size. The larger the size also means that it takes more energy for them to move, so there will need to be more cytoplasm, and that's too much effort to generate. Imagine being in math class when you use those cubes, the one huge cube assembles 100 small cubes, that one huge cube has less surface area than those 100 small cubes combined. That's why we need small cells.                                                                  A larger surface area allows for more exchanges to occur and a larger volume allows for more materials to be brought in or released from the cell at a given time. (The rate of exchange would increase for larger surface areas and volumes of cells.)

After fertilization, the successful development of a mature, full-term fetus depends on A. The release of human chorionic gonado
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The correct option is A (The release of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) by the developing placenta AND the production of estrogen and progesterone by the placental tissues).

Explanation:

The developing placenta release Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) during pregnancy. What this hormone does is tell the body (corpus luteum) to produce progesterone to maintain the pregnancy. The presence of Human chorionic gonadotropin is a sign of pregnancy, meaning successful fertilization had happened, and implantation of the embryo had occurred too, preventing another cycle of menstruation.

The successful development of a mature, full-term fetus also depends on estrogen which during pregnancy aids the formation of blood vessels and also aids fetal maturation. While progesterone is a hormone when released during pregnancy helps maintain a healthy pregnancy.

In order to test this, you could take pepsin solution in HCl, NaOH and water and add the albumen. After regular time intervals, the solutions are tested for the presence of albumen. If the albumen is consumed the fasted in the HCl solution, then the hypothesis is proved correct.
