By influence of the environment (the uterus, and hormones), the fertilized ovum (single cell) replicates its genetic content and divides, resulting in two cells.

Give one feature of a cell wall which allows the cell to become turgid?

The rigid structure of the cell wall allows a plant cell to become turgid by providing structural support and preventing the cell from bursting as water enters and creates pressure against the cell wall.


When a plant cell such as one from a peony stemis submerged in a very hypotonic solution what is likely to occur?

The plant cell will take in water through osmosis, causing it to swell. This can lead to the cell becoming turgid and possibly bursting if the cell wall is weak.


What limits cell size?

I doubt that there is any limit to how large a cell can be. However, the cell's size really depends on the function of the cell. Generally, in the case of a single-celled microorganisms, the cells have to move materials (example, nutrients and wastes) across the cell membrane to stay alive. If the materials move in or out of the cell too slowly, for example the waste accumulates in the cell or the cell is unable to get its nutrients quickly, the cell will die. In order for the rate of diffusion of materials across the cell membrane be as efficient as possible, the cell has to increase its area of cell membrane per unit volume, which is to say, be as small as possible. As for the current largest cell, which is the ostrich egg, the function of the egg is NOT moving materials in and out of the cell surface membrane, but to protect the chick inside the egg and to contain the nutrients that will nourish the chick inside until the chick hatches. The chick needs a lot of nutrients and the chick is going to grow a lot in the egg, so the egg (cell) has to be rather large. There is also an organism known as caulerpa, which is a meter long single-celled organism, but I have no idea why is it that huge.


How does one cell become many cells?

One cell can become many cells through a process called cell division, where a single parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. This process allows organisms to grow, develop, and replace damaged or old cells. Cell division typically involves two main stages: interphase, where the cell prepares for division, and mitosis or meiosis, where the division of the genetic material and cytoplasm occurs.


What would happen to a chick embryo if its cells did not specialize?

If the chick embryo's cells did not specialize, it would not be able to develop into distinct tissues and organs necessary for survival. Specialization is essential for the proper function of different cell types in the body, and without it, the embryo would not be able to form a fully functioning organism.

How do you reduce the size of cells in an excel spread sheet If I have 5 columns in row 1 and I want row 2 to have 10 columns that are the same size as the 5 columns in row 1 how could I achieve this?

You cannot really do that. The only thing you can do is on row 1, merge each pair of cells, so that cell 1 and cell 2 become one merged cell , cell 3 and 4 become one cell and so on. Then you will have one cell in row 1 above two cells in row two.You cannot really do that.

no. it should be 2 cells. the egg cell and the sperm cell


What is a hen's egg a cell or a group of cell?

A hen's egg is a single cell, specifically an ovum or egg cell, that is formed in the hen's ovary. It contains all the necessary components to potentially develop into a chick if fertilized by a sperm cell.

What part of the egg provide food for the chick?

The germinal disc. The egg is really just a single cell, until it is fertilized. The blastodisc (white spot on top of the yolk) is what will become part of the fetus when fertilized with sperm. Then the fetus feeds off the yolk to continue developing.
