36. how can you increase surface area but not volume of an object? biology

1 answer:

3 0

Folds, wrinkles, etc!
by folding the membrane of an organelle, surface area is optimized while volume remains the same. that is why mitochondria looks folded on the inside when you see pictures of it. the higher the surface area to volume ratio, the more efficient the organelle.

Why are enzymes so important?

kumpel [21]

Because they act as a catalyst in the chemical reactions necessary for life within organisms.

This is because without these enzymes that are speeding up the chemical reactions, we would not be able to live since they would take too long.

77julia77 [94]

Answer: A, B, and C are correct.

Polar attractions are (a) forces between atoms of partial charges.(b) weaker than covalent bond.(c) they are numerous.

Explanation:

Polar attractions take place between atoms with partial charges. They are weaker than covalent bond and numerous of them occur in the living cells. They can form between H and other electronegative atoms like oxygen provided they have strong partial charges.

Which of the following statements describes what happens to a molecule that functions as the reducing agent (electron donor) in

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

In a redox reaction, a reducing agent will donate electrons to another chemical species and then it becomes oxidized.

Explanation:

A redox or oxidation-reduction reaction is a chemical reaction where exchange of electron(s) happen between two chemical species (molecule, atom or ion). In this reaction, one chemical species act as an oxidizing agent while another will be a reducing agent.

An example of redox reaction is given in the attachment.

In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of a reducing agent will be increased, whereas oxidizing agent will be reduced.
