- Quantitative – diffusion time: Consider a spherical, single-celled organism which needs oxygen tosurvive. a. Assume oxygen needs to diffuse from the outside of the cell to its center. Write an equation thatgives the diffusion time in terms of the cell radius. b. The cell has a 4 micron (m) diameter, and diffusion coefficient of oxygen is 1.8 x 10-5 cm2/s inwater (assume diffusion is the same through the cell membrane). How long does it take for oxygento diffuse to the center of the cell? c. Cells typically need key molecules such as oxygen to survive. Diffusion times of oxygen can limithow big cells can become. If the cell gets too large for oxygen to reach its center, the cell coulddie. Calculate the size of a cell at which oxygen diffusion time becomes too slow and so limits theability of the cell to get that big. Explain your assumptions. How does this compare to typical cellsizes?arrow_forwardCan you please explain this pathway on the slide?arrow_forwardClassify ther following enzyme ? Sucrasearrow_forward

What is the ΔGinward for the proton gradient into the lysosome?arrow_forwardIf there was India Ink added to a culture of Paramecium caudatum, it would increase the average number of food vacuoles because India ink contains no sugar or nutrients and the formation of food vacuoles would be the first stage in the metabolic process when digesting nutrient-rich particles. If Sugars (sucrose or mannitol) were added to this culture to modify extracellular solute concentration, what effect would we see in the microscopic in regards to the number of food vacuoles? Could sugars have other effects beyond altering solute concentration? Be metabolized?arrow_forwardOr. Foyez Samar The volume enclosed by the plasma membrane of plant cells is often much larger the c corresponding volume in animal cells. The most regsengble explanation for this observation Is that A) plant cells are capable of having a much higher surface-to-volume ratio than animal cells. B) plant cells have a much more highly convoluted (folded) plasma membrane than animal cens. C) plant cells contain a large vacuole that reduces the volume of the cytoplasm. D) animal cells are more spherical, whereas plant cells are elongated. 12 A uarrow_forward
