In what way is surface area more important for cells than volume?

Biology
1 answer:
Virty [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

As a cell grows in size, the surface area gets bigger, but the volume gets bigger faster. Thinking about this as a ratio (division), the volume is the denominator and the surface area is the numerator. If the volume is getting very big, then the ratio itself will be getting very small.

Protein catalysts which cause reactions to occur at temperatures and pH values which are common to living cells are called
mina [271]
The proteins that helps in decreasing the activation energy of a reaction to occur at a definite temperature range and pH value in a living cell are called as the enzymes. These proteins are considered as the biocatalysts. All these biocatalysts are made up of proteins. All the enzymes are proteins but all proteins are not enzymes. Hence the answer is enzymes.

Based on your understanding of nucleic acids, what type of bonds form between the CRISPR/guide RNA molecule and the target DNA
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The single guide RNA forms hydrogen bonds with DNA, while Cas9 hydrolyzes phosphodiester bonds

Explanation:

The base pairing between nucleic acid strands (either DNA or RNA) is through hydrogen bonds between nucleotide bases. In DNA, Adenine always forms two hydrogen bonds with Thymine, while Guanine always forms three hydrogen bonds only with Cytosine. Moreover, adjacent nucleotides in the same strand are covalently linked by phosphodiester bonds (i.e., covalent bonds between the 5' phosphate group of one nucleotide and the 3'-OH group of another). The CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing systems make use of single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) that interact with DNA through hydrogen bonds. These sgRNAs have perfect complementarity to the target DNAs in order to bind them. On the other hand, Cas9 is an enzyme that hydrolyzes phosphodiester bonds in both DNA strands very precisely and accurately by using a sgRNA complementary to a specific DNA sequence.

What can the muscular system be compared to in a car?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Engine is very much similar to the muscular system in a car.

Explanation:

The system is made up of the tissues which work with skeltal system to control the movement  of the body is called Muscular System. In a car the engine is very much similar to the muscular system. They both help their systems to move. Without them the car or body would not going to operate.Like the human body car parts are also specialised & perform specific tasks, but they all depend on each other.Many would compare the engine of the car with heart of human body.The heart is the engine of the body just like the car. Our brain is very much similar to the the car's computer system or CPU.Every car  is powered by an engine and most cars use an internal combustion engine which runs on gasoline.A car's overall power is a function of the size of engine as well as the factors such as timing of combustion and the type of transmission used.

netineya [11]

Answer:

The kind of muscle contraction that occurs when you try to lift a box but it's to heavy and it can't be moved from the floor is called: Isometric Contraction.

Explanation:

Isometric contraction consists of having a muscle activated but to maintain it at a constant length, instead of shorten or lengthen it.
