What is cell surface to volume ratio and why is it important in cell functioning? Can it explain why cells are so small?
MrMuchimi
<span>The main reason surface area to volume ratio is important to a cell is because the surface area to volume ratio determines the rate at which cells uptake nutrients, liquids or gases. For instance, I have two organisms, A and B. Organism A has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1, whereas organism B has a surface area to volume ratio of 3:1. As organism A has a greater surface area to volume ratio, it means that organism A will be able to take up nutrients, liquids or gases via diffusion or osmosis at a greater rate than organism B, as it has more surface with which to exchange nutrients, liquids or gases. </span>

Why would a third-degree burn be less painful than a first- or second-degree burn involving the same body area?
Irina18 [472]
A third-degree burn would be less painful than a first- or second-degree burn involving the same body area because of the destruction of underlying pain receptors.
Nerve endings are destroyed in third-degree burns, which means that a person can no longer feel pain in that particular spot on the body. Third-degree burns are the most severe ones and cannot be treated easily - usually skin grafting or synthetic skin has to be used to replace the burnt skin.

Describe both innate and acquired immune systems and the importance of vaccines.
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Innate immunity is a non-specific immune system which provides defence against any pathogenic microorganism in early stages. It includes physical barrier such as skin, chemical barriers such as saliva, tears, et cetera, phagocytic cells such as macrophages, et cetera.

Acquired immune system is the one which develops after exposure to pathogen or antigen. It is highly specific in nature. It includes B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes. It includes the production of antibodies.

Vaccines are used to develop acquired immunity in people. The process is termed as vaccination or immunisation. Heat-killed or weakened pathogen or antigen is inserted into a person after which a person develops antibodies and memory cells against that pathogen or disease. So, the immune system acts more vigorously against that pathogen in secondary infection.

Thus, a person becomes immunised.
