1 answer:
german3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The surface area to volume ratio (SA:V) limits cell size because the bigger the cell gets, the less surface area it has for its size.

This is important if you are a cell that depends on diffusion through your cell wall to obtain oxygen, water, and food and get rid of carbon dioxide and waste materials.

Is the activation of receptors in the various sense organs?
GaryK [48]

Answer;

-Sensation

Sensation is the activation of receptors in the various sense organs

Explanation;

-Sensation is the activation of sensory receptor cells at the level of the stimulus. Perception is the central processing of sensory stimuli into a meaningful pattern. Perception is dependent on sensation, but not all sensations are perceived.

-Receptors are the cells or structures that detect sensations. A receptor cell is changed directly by a stimulus. A transmembrane protein receptor is a protein in the cell membrane that mediates a physiological change in a neuron, most often through the opening of ion channels or changes in the cell signaling processes.
