Answer:
Increasing the size of the cube-shaped cell increases the volume. However, the surface area-to-volume ratio decreases. This means that the simple diffusion would take more time distribute nutrients across the cell (and even in the eliminate waste). It would need bulk transport such as vesicle transport, otherwise cell activities would slow down.
Answer:
I am pretty sure that the answer is A.
Explanation:
Protein kinases regulate the cell cycle by giving the "go-ahead" or "stop" signal at checkpoints in the cycle. A mutation/disruption in the protein kinases can result in it not doing its job properly. As a result, it can give the 'go-ahead' signal to all cells (mutated or not) to continue through the cell cycle. A distrupted kinase will infleunce the enviornment for a cancer cell as the cancer cell can continue to divide continuously.
I do not think the answer is D because G-couped receptirs are not involed in the regulation of the cell cycle. Additionally, I do not think the answer is C since the production of cAMP (a secondary messgenger amplifies transduction signals; this doesn't have anything to do with cancer?) Finally, between A and B I know that a direct result of cancer is due to a distruption in either protien kinases or growth factors (not in the answer choices). Since one of the factors that leads to cancer is present in answer choice A, I think that is the one. However, this is just my reasoning, I am not 100% sure!
Observation– the process of using the five senses to gather information.
The answer for the above question is the Avascular Necrosis. It occurs as an interruption in the blood flow within the bone resulting in the death of the hematopoietic cells, osteocytes, and marrow fat cells making up the bony structure. It is also called osteonecrosis or ischemic bone necrosis, which occurs when there is loss of blood to the bone, since the bone is a living tissue that needs blood, this interruption of blood supply will result to the death of the bone.
Answer: The most affected would be organs that have QUICKLY dividing cells (like the intestine and hair follicles).
Explanation:
Cancer cells are cells that divides uncontrollably giving rise to a mass of tissue called tumour. They grow faster than a normal cell in an uncoordinated manner, and continues to grow after the initial stimulus has ceased.
Paclitaxel is a drug that is approved for the treatment of cancer affecting different parts of the body. It's a microtubule-stabilizing drug whose mechanism of action is to induce mitotic arrest in the cancer cells.
Paclitaxel in its cause of action not only affect cancer cells but normal cells as well. To justify this statement, as stated earlier, the mechanism of action of paclitaxel is to induce mitotic arrest. Therefore the cells of organs where rapid mitosis occurs would be most affected. Skin cells, hair follicles and the cells lining our intestines (epithelial cells) all have high rates of mitosis as these tissues constantly need to be replaced.
