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

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 are the different methods of transport across a membrane ?
dusya [7]
If I remember correctly, there are two main types of transport—passive and active. Passive transport does not require energy or ATP, whereas active transport does.


Types of passive transport include diffusion and osmosis, both of which involve moving down a concentration gradient and thus not requiring energy.


Active transport moves up the concentration gradient and does require energy.


Perhaps someone who has taken bio within the last several years can correct anything I might have misstated here.

Behaviors such as stress, exercise, eating patterns, and tension ______ various aspects of the hormonal system.
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Activates or suppresses

Explanation:

The hormonal system or the endocrine system involves chemical systems where feedback loops of hormones are released directly into the circulatory system by internal glands.

It involves the interaction between the hypothalamus, pituitary glands and sex glands.

Release of hormones is dependent of signalling therefore behaviors such as stress, eating patterns and tension can activate or suppress various aspects of the hormonal system.
