(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

If vestigial structures, such as hip bones in dolphins, have no current function, then why does natural selection allow them to
Snezhnost [94]
Vestigial structures are inherited from ancestors, but have lost much or all of their original function due to different selection pressures acting on the descendant. The hipbones of bottlenose dolphins are vestigial structures. However, as the dolphin lineage adapted to life at sea, this function was lost.

From the following list, correctly identify the reason(s) that might explain a decrease in Vmax due to a suboptimal pH during an
Zanzabum

Answer:

The correct answer is -

a. Protonation of the substrate.

b. Deprotonation of the amino acids in the enzyme active site.

c. Change in tertiary structure in extreme conditions.

Explanation:

During an enzyme assay, suboptimal pH is changed and affect the Vmax to decrease and this could take place due to various reasons such as-

A) protonation of the substrate - Upon protonating or adding a proton or hydrogen cation to a substrate atom, the mass and the charge of the species each increase by one unit which make a conjugate acid.

B) Deprotonation of the amino acids in the enzyme’s active site -Changing the pH will affect the charges on the amino acid molecules.

C) Denaturation of the protein’s tertiary structure- Tertiary structure of the protein is basically a backbone of peptide chain with one or more secondary domains of proteins that increasing the pH or decreasing the pH get denature.

Thus, the correct answer is : option A, B, C.

Peptide hormones a. are able to pass through the membrane and bind to a receptor in the cytoplasm. b. bind to a receptor in the
ozzi

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. It bind to a receptor in the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

Hormones can be aminoacid based hormones (peptide or amine) or the steroid base hormones on the basis of their nature. Amino acid based proteins are molecules that are proteins,

Peptide hormones are the protein or peptide molecule that release in blood by the exocytosis in the form of preprohormones that mature later and bind to the receptor present on the surface of the plasma membrane of the target cell. The binding of the peptide hormone to the receptors a secondary messenger shows up in the cytoplasm.

Thus, the correct answer is option B. It binds to a receptor in the plasma membrane.
