(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

Why is it important to track our carbon and ecological footprint?.
igomit [66]

Answer:

The carbon footprint is a very important means to understand the impact of a person's behavior on global warming. This is why someone who effectively wants to contribute to stopping global warming, at least on an individual scale, needs to measure and keep track of their personal carbon footprint.

Why does a pea plant with the genotype Rr produce some gametes that have the allele for round seeds?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - due to the law of segregation.

Explanation:

In the given case the genotype of Rr and as we know R is a dominant characteristic for round seeds and r represents the recessive allele for wrinkled seeds in a pea plant. So if a plant has Rr in its genotype it means it is a phenotypically round pea plant due to dominance in this heterozygous case.

The law of segregation states that two alleles of a gene of a specific trait will be distributed randomly and there is an equal chance of each allele to end up in the gametes, similarly in this case both alleles can be segregated to gametes and it is a random process.

Bacteria is a prime candidate for genetic engineering because of its ___________ and ____________?
N76 [4]

The given blanks can be filled with the ability to take up foreign DNA and express proteins faster.  

The direct manipulation of the genes of an organism with the application of biotechnology is known as genetic engineering. It is an array of technologies that are utilized to modify the genetic make-up of an organism, involving the transfer of genes across and within the boundaries of the species to generate novel or bettered organisms.  

In genetic engineering, bacteria play a key role, as it is an essential tool for natural scientists. The genes and other genetic information from a broad array of species can be administered into bacteria for modification and storage, thus producing genetically modified bacteria in the procedure.  

The bacteria possess the tendency to take up foreign DNA and expresses the desired proteins at a faster rate.
