(AKS 3b / DOK 2) Four students were discussing how surface area to volume ratio limits cell size. Which student claim below woul

d be the
BEST claim to support?
O A. Student 1: The larger the cell, the more nutrients it will receive in a shorter amount of time
B. Student 2: As the cell gets bigger, the outside of the cell is able to keep up with its internal needs
OC. Student 3: Waste diffuse out of the larger cells faster than smaller cells
D. Student 4: The bigger the cell gets, the less surface area it has for its size

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Let's assume there's two cuboidal cells, cell A and B

Cell A has a side of x

Let's find the surface area of cell A

SA = 6(L²)

SA = 6(x²)

SA = 6x²

Let's find the volume of cell A

V = L³

V = (x)³

V = x³

Cell B has a side of 2x

Now let's find the surface area of cell B

SA = 6(L²)

SA = 6(2x)²

SA = 24x²

Let's find the volume of cell B

V = (L)³

V = (2x)³

V = 8x³

As you can see, just by doubling the side length, the ratio between Surface Area and Volume went from 6/x to 3/x (the x² in the numerator and the x³ in the denominator cancel out forming 1/x)

The ratio decreased, therefore, D is the statement that makes sense

What does a limiting factor do?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

A limiting factor is anything that constrains a population's size and slows or stops it from growing. Some examples of limiting factors are biotic, like food, mates, and competition with other organisms for resources.

If a TRNA had a AGC anticodon it could attach a
Contact [7]

A transference RNA (tRNA) is an adapter molecule that decodes a codon messenger RNA (mRNA) during the synthesis of a polypeptide chain. These molecules (tRNAs) play a fundamental role during translation.

  • If a tRNA had an AGC anticodon it could attach a codon having the sequence UCG.

  • During translation, tRNAs act at specific sites in a ribosome to synthesize a polypeptide chain (i.e., a protein) from an mRNA sequence.

  • The anticodon of the tRNA binds by base complementary to a triplet of nucleotides or 'codon' in the messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis (i.e., translation).

  • According to the base complementarity rules, in RNA, Adenine always pairs with Uracile (Thymine in DNA), whereas Guanine always pairs with Cytosine.
