What is a term that refers to a decrease in cell size?
Atrophy- refers to a decrease in cell size.
Does the Golgi apparatus decrease in size when a cell increases its protein production?
No, the Golgi apparatus does not decrease in size when a cell increases its protein production. Instead, the Golgi apparatus may increase in size or capacity to accommodate the increased protein synthesis and processing demands.
Does the spleen decrease in size as a person ages?
Yes, the spleen tends to decrease in size as a person ages due to a process called involution where it gradually shrinks and becomes less active. This is a normal part of the aging process and is typically not associated with any health problems.
How do you size entries down to fit in a cell?
You can change the size of the cell, which is easy. If you hover the arrow over the column heading lines, it changes to a line with two arrows. You can expand or decrease the width of the column from there. If you must have it fit in that cell, decrease the font size. Remember that in the print properties, or in page set up you can click to make the cells fit to one page.
How can the shape of muscle cell change?
Muscle cells can change shape through processes such as hypertrophy (increase in size) or atrophy (decrease in size). Hypertrophy occurs when the muscle cell grows in response to increased workload, such as through exercise. Atrophy, on the other hand, can be caused by disuse, injury, or disease which results in a reduction in the size of the muscle cell.
Is the change in the size of the chromosomes the cause of sickle cell disease?
the sickle cell disease can be caused by many things including the change in size of chromosomes. the change of size in chromosomes can change and become either bigger or smaller. if the size doesnt change, then it doesnt get bigger or smaller which means the size stays relatively the same in general. it also makes you get a priapism
What is the effect of aging in your muscular system?
They get tired like all things. Also ligaments a tendons start loosing up.
What is the shrinkage of a tissue through a loss in cell size or number?
I believe that "Atrophy" is the word you are looking for.
Do the size of kidneys decrease with time?
The size of kidneys don't usually decrease in size over time.
What decreases the size of your penis?
Factors such as aging, certain medical conditions (e.g. Peyronie's disease), and lifestyle habits like smoking or obesity can potentially lead to a decrease in penis size. In many cases, addressing the underlying medical issue or adopting healthier habits can help prevent further reduction.
How does cell growth affect the cell surface to volume ratio?
The rate at which the cell increases in size depends on the DNA. The ratio of the surface area (calculated: length x width x # of sides) is divided by the cell volume (calculated: length x width x height). THE VOLUME OF THE CELL INCREASES MORE RAPIDLY THAN THE SURFACE AREA, CAUSING THE RATIO OF SURFACE AREA OVER VOLUME TO DECREASE. This decrease causes cell malfunction. If the cell volume increases too much, then the ratio will decrease causing problems for the cell's regular functions.
