Use the models that you created in Lesson 2, Lab 1 to help you answer the following question. Compare the surface area to volume ratio of a large cell to that of a small cell.

Why does the ratio of surface area to volume increase with the decrease in cell size?


A. A larger cell has more surface area than volume.
B. A smaller cell has more surface area than volume.
C. A smaller cell has more volume than surface area.
D. A smaller cell has an equal ratio of surface area to volume

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

B

Explanation:

This is a question more about understanding ratios than understanding cells.

A surface area to volume ratio (S/V) in a size-decreasing cell would increase due to a more significant loss in volume that in surface area. In reality, both decrease (surface area AND volume), but as we are talking about a ratio, this one would go up due to a more dramatic decrease in volume.

Answer 2
Answer: B. A smaller cell has more surface area than volume. This allows for more reactions to occur across the various membranes of the cell.

Resumes to: the idea of what is best? to farm animals or not.

Explanation:

The reason behind this answer is that in the first place the idea of "the best" option in the topic o farming animals or not is the debate. It has to deal with ethics, with empathy, and with the fact that we as humans have not pursued the best methods to farm animals. Therefore, activists expose the crude side of reality to force the people involved in these processes to change them.

Which of the following describes how polluted water sources would most likely affect one’s personal health?Answer
Bacteria would enter the body and inhibit a specific immune response.
Microorganisms would release histamine, causing inflammation and swelling.
Infectious agents would prevent the immune system from producing lymphocytes.
Pathogens would invade the body and cause disease, such as giardia.

Answers

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. Polluted water sources would most likely affect one’s personal health since pathogens would invade the body and cause disease, such as giardia. Pathogens would go with the water we take in our body and would disturb the processes inside causing illnesses.

Answer: Pathogens would invade the body and cause disease, such as giardia.

Explanation:

The water body get polluted by the disposal of biological and non-biological wastes liberated by the human society so as to get rid of those wastes. The biological wastes includes the slurry of sewage which mainly includes the human and animal fecal matter which includes the pathogens which colonize and deteriorates the quality of water.

If the water from such water body if taken for the purpose of drinking, cooking and other crucial activities will likely to introduce the pathogens into the human body which invade the human immune system and can cause deadly diseases such as giardia.

Determine if the following are autotrophs or heterotrophs: (a) a giant redwood tree, (b) a spider, (c) a rose bush,(d) a mushroom, (e) a blue whale.

Answers

The options in the question contain both autotrophs and heterotrophs.
(a) A giant redwood tree = Autotroph
(b) A spider = Heterotroph
(c) A rose bush = Autotroph
(d) A mushroom = Heterotroph
(e) A blue whale = Heterotroph
Autrophs are the organisms that have the capacity to form their own food from inorganic substances like the carbon dioxide.
Heterotrophs are the organisms that cannot produce their own food but depends on other animals or plants for their nutritional needs.
