cell cycle checklist stuff

Question 1

What are the three factors that limit cell growth?

Answer 1

Diffusion, DNA, and the volume and surface area !

Question 2

How exactly does diffusion limit how big a cell get?

Answer 2

Because diffusion is faster than the flash, and important nutrients such as water and oxygen need to enter the cell. It gets humongous which is hard for the cell to do anything.

Question 3

How does the cell growing too large affect the DNA?… its just little strands right? How in the world can that limit AN ENTIRE CELL?

Answer 3

It isn’t just “little strands” dummy, when the cell is large, it can be hard for the DNA to give out instructions for the cell to function properly.

Question 4

TRUE OR FALSE: When the radius increases, the surface area decreases.

Answer 4

FALSEEEIEIE

Question 5

Which part of the cell grows faster, the surface area or the volume? Explain your answer.

Answer 5

The volume grows faster because it is cubed, where as surface area is squared.

Question 6

How many parents are needed for asexual reproduction?

Answer 6

on e 0_0

Question 7

How many parents are needed for sexual reproduction?

Answer 7

dos (two) .

Question 8

What are the advantages of having organisms that follow sexual reproduction?

Answer 8

It produces genetic variations, and it can adapt to new environment due to their variation.

Question 9

What are the advantages to having organisms that follow asexual reproduction?

Answer 9

You only need one organism, and it is 10x more faster than sexual reproduction (not tryna start competition)

Question 10

Why does volume conflicts with cell growth?

Answer 10

Because the plasma membrane can’t maintain it’s shape, and the cells could burst due to the volume increasing at a faster rate.

Question 11

What even is the volume anyway?

Answer 11

It is the amount of space a cell has.

Question 12

Is the surface area related to geometry in anyway? Explain to me what it is, I’m struggling…..

Answer 12

It is basically the outside of the cell :) !

Question 13

Gamete are _____ & ___ cells

Answer 13

Gametes are SPERM & EGG cells.

Question 14

What exactly are somatic cells?

Answer 14

They are basically every cell except sperm and egg cells, such as internal organs, skin, bones, blood, and connective tissue.

Question 15

Are diploid cells one set of chromosomes?

Answer 15

NOO!! >:( They are TWO sets of chromosomes !!

Question 16

TRUE OR FALSE: Haploid cells are one set of chromosomes.

Answer 16

TRUE, they are a SINGLE set of chromosomes.
