Again, imagine that your liver, which has a volume of 2 liters, developed from a single embryonic precursor cell with a volume o

f 1000 μm3, or 1 x 10-12 liters. You previously calculated how many cell division cycles would be required for the precursor cell to produce your mature liver.
What if the control of liver organogenesis were a bit faulty, and the process went exactly 2 cell division cycles beyond this? What then would be the volume of your liver in liters?

I found that the answer to the first question is 41, but I can't figure out the second part.

Answer:

41 cycles

If cell division went 2 cell division cycle beyond the  precursor; we have 43 cycles

The volume would be = 17.59 Litres

Explanation:

From the given information:

The number of cells in the liver that developed from an embryonic precursor is roughly \dfrac{2}{10^{-12}}= 2\times10^{12}

The number of cell cycles needed to produce 2\times 10^{12  cells is:

= log_2(2\times 10^{12})

= 40.86

\simeq 41

Thus, nearly 41 cycles of cell division are required to form the mature liver.

Now;

Suppose 2 extra cell division cycles took place;

The total number of cells would be 2⁴³ = 1.759 × 10¹³; &

The volume would be =  1.759 × 10¹³ × 10⁻¹²

The volume would be = 17.59 Litres

A test organism develops a genetic mutation that causes neurons to develop without synaptic knobs. How will this impact neuronal
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The electrical signal will not be converted into chemical signal.

Explanation:

The synaptic knob is the bulbous enlargement also called synaptic terminal preset at the end of the axon.

The synaptic knob is a living cell and thus contains all the living features but they also contain the vesicles which store the neurotransmitters, therefore, synaptic knob acts as a site which converts the electrical signal into a chemical signal. The released neurotransmitter from the synaptic knob interacts with the post neuron or recipient neuron.

If the mutation develops in the neurons which result in the formation of neurons without synaptic knob therefore the electrical signal will not be converted into a chemical signal and thus signal will stop.

The fact that they do not dissolve shows that it is a lipid. This is further supported by the fact that the liquid remains collect to form a giant droplet. This occurs as oil/lipids are hydrophobic and thus tend to collect in clumps.

poizon [28]
<span>By the late 1960s, scientists had developed the theory of plate tectonics based on a range of new evidence. Technological advances had helped reveal that the ocean floor was not essentially flat, as once assumed, but instead was marked by 50,000-kilometer-long (31,000-mile), 3,000-meter-high (9,800-ft) ridges and 11-kilometer-deep (7-mile) trenches. Scientists found striking patterns related to these features. They found that the youngest oceanic crust is located nearest the mid-ocean ridge and the oldest crust is nearest the trenches. They also detected a pattern of alternating magnetic polarity along the ocean floor, which emanated from the ridge tops. These two pieces of evidence, coupled with the fact that volcanic activity and island-building occurred most commonly at ocean trenches, suggested that new crust was created at mid-ocean ridges and destroyed at ocean trenches. Scientists Harry Hess and Robert Dietz used this evidence to revive and expand Holmes' convection theory into the theory they called "seafloor spreading." Finally, Wegener's notion of continental drift was coupled with a mechanism that could explain the movement of tectonic plates.</span>

Hi,

Sample Response: A flood  would affect the availability of a material used in making a synthetic polymer. If a flood destroys rubber trees, the availability of natural rubber would decrease, which would in turn decrease the production of synthetic polymers.

Have a great day! (This is late but for anyone else who needs it here you go.)

Which description properly describes the plant structures involved in photosynthesis? Stomata take in water, sunlight, and carbo
erma4kov [3.2K]
The correct answer is that "xylem transports water, stomata take in carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll absorbs sunlight." The xylem is a vascular structure in plants that transport water, the phloem is another vascular structure in plants that transport nutrients. The stomata (singular; stoma) is the one responsible for the plants' gas exchange (takes in carbon dioxide, releases oxygen). The chlorophyll is what makes the green pigment of the leaves and mostly because of the presence of chloroplasts, the organelle in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis.
