Hi,

You did not provide the length of paper clip but i searched this exercise to find the length of the paper clip as So, a small paperclip measures 3.0 cm so i will answer your question according to this length.

The size of a human cell is around  30um and the question is asking that how many would fit along the length of the paper clip measuring 3cm.

                              3 cm = 30000 microns

                                          = 30000/30

                                           = 1000 cells.

So, if we line up 1000 human skins cells side-by-side, they would fit along the length of the paperclip.

Note: <em>If the length of paper clip is different in your excercise like 1 cm etc, simply multiply the 1 with 10000 and divide the resultant value with 30, this way you can get cell number for the length of any clip.</em>

Hope it helps!

Based on the model explain whether the molecules shown crossing the membrane require energy to do so
Svetach [21]

Answer:

As the diagram is not given, hence let's generally describe the movement of molecules along the cell membrane.

Molecules can either pass through the cell without using energy through the process of passive transport. An example includes molecules of oxygen.

Molecules which are large and un-polar cannot move through the cell membrane easily. These molecules will require energy to move through the cell membrane. These molecules might move in with the help of the carrier or facilitated proteins. Examples include molecules of glucose.

Which of the following is the correct path a neural impulse will follow through the different layers of the retina? a. Rods and
Phoenix [80]

Answer:a. Rods and cones, bipolar cells, ganglion cells, optic nerve

Explanation:

The bipolar cells are present in between the rod and cone and ganglion cells.

The function of bipolar cells is to transmit signals from the photoreceptors (rod and cones cells) to the ganglion cells. The signals are then transferred to the brain via optic nerves where visual image is created.

Which plant cell organelle helps maintain the shape of the cell by helping to maintain turgor pressure? A) cell membrane B) cell
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: The correct answer is- C) vacuole.

Large central Vacuole is a specialized fluid filled organelle, present only in plant cell. It is primarily involved in providing support and shape to the plant cell by maintaining the turgor pressure ( a hydrostatic force that is produced due to the cell contents against the inner side of the cell wall). The central vacuole stores water ( that flows through osmosis) and maintains turgor pressure in a plant cell.

Turgor pressure provides mechanical support and helps in the growth and development of plant.
