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>

You spread 0.1 mL volume of a 10^(-5) dilution onto a nutrient agar plate. After 24 hours of incubation at 37°C, there were 223
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The correct answers are 2.23 * 10^8 CFU/ml and 2 colonies.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, 0.1 ml is the amount of bacterial culture plated, 10^-5 is the dilution factor and the number of bacterial colonies produced is 223.  

A) 223 is the number of colonies produced when 0.1 ml of the culture is plated. Therefore, the number of colonies produced when 1 milliliter of bacterial culture plated us (223/0.1)*1 = 2230

The calculation of the CFU/ml is done by using the formula,  

CFU/ml = Number of colonies per ml plated / dilution factor

Thus, 2230/10^-5

= 2230 * 10^5 or 2.23 * 10^8 CFU/ml

B) The number of colonies, which would grow on a plate, which is inoculated with 0.1 ml volume of 10^-7 dilution from the similar bacterial stock will be calculated as,  

CFU/ml = Number of colonies per ml plated/ dilution * volume plated.  

2.23 * 10^8 CFU/ml = Number of colonies per ml plated / 10^-7 * 0.1

Number of colonies per ml plated = 2.23 * 10^8 * 0.1 / 10^7 = 2.23 or 2 colonies.

Select all that apply. Which of the following products are derived from invertebrates? food shell jewelry silk cotton
asambeis [7]
The products that are derived from invertebrates are the following:
1. food - crabs, lobsters, oysters, octopuses: all of these are invertebrates (meaning they have no spine) and are used as food
2. shell - seashells are invertebrates and their shells are used for various purposes
3. jewelry - shells are used as jewelry, as well as pearls coming from seashells
4. silk - silk comes from silkworms, which are invertebrates
I just wouldn't pick cotton, because you get cotton from a plant.

2. Wegener’s idea that tidal forces might cause continental drift was shown to be impossible when it was ____.
Veronika [31]

The correct answer is option B. shown that the tidal forces needed to move continents would stop Earth’s rotation.

The Wegener’s idea that tidal forces might cause continental drift suggested that the tidal force and the centrifugal forces on the earth was the cause of the movement of the plates.

But, he was unable to propose the mechanism of such movement. Also, if the centrifugal force of the earth would move the plates apart, then the earth below it should remain stationary, but the earth is in continuous rotation, so, this idea was not acceptable, as it is would stop rotation of earth.
