(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

DIA [1.3K]

Answer: The answer is Anthocerophyta

Explanation: Anthocerophyta are widespread and occur in the temperate & tropical zones. The species of plants in this phylum have horn-shaped sporophytes which are known as "flower horn". As in other bryophytes, the sporophyte of this phylum remains attached to its parent gametophyte throughout its life, but unlike these other plants, the sporophyte continues to grow throughout its life; this happens as a group of cells at the base of the horn divide repeatedly. They also possess stomates, which exchange gases between the plant and the air.

The mitochondrial genome evolution in Anthocerophyta is closer to that of seed plants but not as dynamic.

Drag each label to the correct location.
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The geosphere or geosphere is the internal and solid part of the Earth that is composed of three concentric layers called crust, mantle and nucleus. Without the geosphere, human beings cannot live on the planet, since there is no solid ground. In the Earth's geosphere are rocks, minerals, magma, sand and mountains.

This layer interacts with the other layers of the earth system, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere, and is in a state of constant motion; Sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks within the Earth's geosphere undergo continuous recycling.

It is said that the Earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago from the collision of meteoric debris that created the solar system. Due to the constant collisions during its formation, the initial temperature of the planet was extremely high; It was all molten matter.

But during the next phase of Earth's formation there was a cooling, and with it, the differentiation of the Earth's layers. Dense materials sank in the center, forming a core rich in iron and nickel. The lighter magma rose to the surface, forming the thickest layer of the Earth called the mantle.

Eventually, the outermost magma cooled to form the thin layer we call Earth's crust.

What enzyme deficiency in RBC leads to hemolytic anemia due to oxidative stress? ​
natka813 [3]

In some cases, massive destruction of red blood cells caused death. This drug-induced hemolytic anemia was shown 30 years later to be caused by a deficiency of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, the enzyme catalyzing the first step in the oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway.

in short terms, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase
