ollowing graphs:
a)
A graph that compares the side length (x axis) versus the surface area to volume ratio (y axis).
b) A graph that compares the surface area to volume ratio (x axis) versus the diffusion time (y axis).
(Do not forget to label the axes, the units on the axes, scale, and the title)

Based on your results, would it be more efficient for a multicellular animal to grow by increasing the size of
cells or by increasing the number of cells? Explain your answer referencing your results from the lab.
Only students in Science 10 need to complete the following question.
3. The concept of surface area to volume ratio can be applied to multicellular organisms. Using your
understanding of the surface area to volume ratio, explain why moving from the equator towards the
North Pole, bears (Sun bear, Panda bear, Black bear, Grizzly bear, and Polar bear) increase in size.

Some terms are used more than once] Rab, SNARE, v- SNARE, t-SNARE, Tethering a. Identification of a vesicle to be docked depends on a diverse family of monomeric GTPases called proteins. First, a filamentous protein on a target membrane binds to a protein on the surface of a vesicle. This interaction allows the vesicle to dock on its particular target membrane. A on the vesicle then binds to a complementary_ on the target membrane. Whereas and proteins provide the initial recognition between a vesicle and its target membrane, complementary appropriate target membranes. Together, the proteins ensure that transport vesicles dock at their proteins catalyze the final fusion of the two membranes by squeezing out water making fusion more energetically favorable. b.

- ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY. What is the effect of Brownian movement to diffusion?arrow_forwardhelp fill in these blanks in [] Sodium-potassium ATPases are [passive/active] transporters that move sodium and potassium [with/against] their electrochemical gradients. In other words, potassium and sodium transport, without any coupled process, are [endergonic/exergonic] processes. These transporters are [primary active/facilitated/secondary active] transporters meaning that the transport process is coupled to [ATP hydrolysis/ion diffusion] to make the process spontaneous. P-type ATPases are [acid-base/covalent/nucleophilic] catalysts that become phosphorylated during the transport cycle. The sodium-potassium ATPase moves [3/2/1] cations out of the cell for every [1/2/3] cations it moves into the cell, polarizing the membrane such that the inside is [positive/negative] compared to the outside.arrow_forwardFind the FALSE sentence. Select one: a. In osmosis, water diffuses across a selectively permeable membrane from the compartment with the lowest to the compartment with the highest solute concentration. b. Malignant tumors can give rise to metastases. c. Passive transport across the membrane requires ATP. d. The endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus both collaborate to build the cell membrane.arrow_forward
