What happens to a cell when it becomes cancerous ?

Biology
2 answers:
Valentin [98]3 years ago

Explanation:

When cancer starts to grow within a cell, this cell’s function is altered and it begins to multiply out of control. Simply put, cancer cells are nothing but cells gone wrong - they no longer respond to the signals that control cellular growth and death. Subsequently, they divide more rapidly than their progenitors and become less dependent on signals from other cells.

Observation of Diffusion Rate in Relation to Cell Size

Explanation:

new cells rather than growing bigger. Why is this ?

There are two main reasons why cells divide rather than continuing to grow larger and larger: ... If the cell grows too large, it will have trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane. Cell Division. Cell division is the process by which cellular material is divided between two new daughter cells.

Why aren't you made of a few dozen, or a

few hundred cells, instead of trillions?

if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function. That is why cells are so small.

Why don't single-celled organisms like amoebas and paramecia grow

as big as a human?     again The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger. Thus, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume.

i belive this is just the introduction to the project but here

ehidna [41]

Answer:

Binomial nomenclature is the naming system developed by Carolus Linnaeus. In this system, latin language was used because it is a dead language which cannot be spoken by people in the world. In binomial nomenclature, two names are used. One for genus and the second for specie. For example, Rana tigrina is the scientific name of frog. In this name rana is genus and tigrina is specie.
