(a)

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The total volume of each cell using the equation V=43πr3

Introduction: Cell is the basic “fundamental unit” of life. Cells can either be unicellular or multicellular. The organism with one cell is a unicellular organism, whereas the organisms with more than one cell are termed as multicellular organisms. There are various types of cell on the basis of shape and size such as red blood cells (circular), muscle cells (spindle-shaped) and so on.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The surface area of each cell by using the equation A=4πr2

Introduction: Cell is the basic “fundamental unit” of life. Cells can either be unicellular or multicellular.

There are various types of cell on the basis of shape and size such as red blood cells (circular), muscle cells (spindle-shaped) and so on.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The surface area/volume ratio of each cell.

Introduction: Cell is the basic “fundamental unit” of life. Cells can either be unicellular or multicellular.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way in which the surface area/volume ratio for a cell change as the cell increases in size

Introduction: Cell is the basic “fundamental unit” of life. Cells can either be unicellular or multicellular. The organism with one cell is a unicellular organism, whereas the organisms with more than one cell are termed as multicellular organisms. There are various types of cell on the basis of shape and size such as red blood cells (circular), muscle cells (spindle-shaped) and so on.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason due to which the surface area/volume ratio for a cell change as the cell increases in size

What is agricu
When using the concept of "a calorie in is equal to a calorie out" how important is the quality of the calories?
What did the Cre-lox system used in the Kikuchi et al. 2010 heart regeneration experiment allow researchers to investigate?  What was the purpose of the cmlc2 promoter?  What is CreER and why was it used in this experiment?  If constitutively active Cre was driven by the cmlc2 promoter, rather than an inducible CreER system, what color would you expect new cardiomyocytes in the regenerated area to be no matter what? Why?
