4. a living cell is not a simple geometric shape, like a sphere or a cube. what sort of weird cell shape might increase the ratio of surface area to volume? would you be able to test this more complex shape in an experiment similar to this one? (3 points)

Gabriel's horn

Explanation:

What the question is asking for is a 3-dimensional shape that has a lot of surface area and only a little volume. The first thing I thought of was a geometric figure called Gabriel's Horn. A quick search on Wikipedia will explain better than I can, but basically it has infinite surface area but finite volume. You probably couldn't test the shape in any experiment, though, since it's only theoretical and can't exist in real life.

Let me know if I can explain anything in a clearer way!

lysosomes contain a variety of enzymes, enabling the cell to break down various biomolecules it engulfs, including peptides, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids (lysosomal lipase). the enzymes responsible for this hydrolysis require an acidic environment for optimal activity. hope i !

stimulus is a change in the environment that causes an organism to react. the response is the reaction to the stimulus. some examples of stimuli for zebras are drought, to many predators, and bad feeding grounds such as dead grass or plants. zebras respond to stimuli just like all other living organisms
