Immunology

Immunology is the division of science involved with the immune reactions occurring in living organisms. The organisms are accustomed to evolving internal defense mechanisms to evade the invasion of microbial pathogens. Diverse cells are connected with stimulating the immune responses, which produce inhospitable conditions to the microbes prompting their lysis and thus inhibits the multiplication of the pathogens. The immune system can distinguish the pathogens through the aid of cellular intercommunication and launch responses to destroy them.

Question

A cell develops a mutation in its potassium channel that prevents the ion from leaving the cell. If the aquaporins are still active what happens to the cell?

A cell's normal surface area:volume ratio (SA:Vol) is 3:1. As a rest of unusual uptake of water, it expands in size so that its SA:Vol changes to 2:1. Which statement below best describes the cells response. 1) The cell divides because it has too much surface area for its enclosed volume. 2) The cell is able to take up more materials due the decreased surface area to volume ratio. 3)The cell divides because it can no longer adequately acquire the necessary resources for its survival. 4) The cell changes it cell membrane structure, halting the further intake of water.
