Texts: Fill-in-the-Blanks Cells must be very small for materia
Question

Question asked by Filo student

Texts: Fill-in-the-Blanks Cells must be very small for materials to move into and out of them fast enough to meet the cell's metabolic needs. Therefore, cells have a (1) (check one) () low () high surface area to volume ratio. This means as a cell decreases in size, its volume (2) (check one) () decreases () increases proportionately more than its surface area. Consequently, a smaller cell will have (3) (check one) () less () more surface area relative to its volume. Fill-in-the-Blanks Cells must be very small for materials to move into and out of them fast enough to meet the cell's metabolic needs. Therefore, cells have a (1) (check one) (x) low () high surface area to volume ratio. This means as a cell decreases in size, its volume (2) (check one) (x) decreases () increases proportionately more than its surface area. Consequently, a smaller cell will have (3) (check one) () less (x) more surface area relative to its volume.

As a bolt of lightning flashed above Black Mourning Castle, a scream echoed from the den of Lord Hooke. When the upstairs maid peered through the door, a freckled arm reached for her neck. Quickly, the maid bolted from the doorway, locked herself in the library, and telephoned the police. Inspector Holmes arrived to find a frightened maid and the dead body of Lord Hooke. Apparently, the lord had been strangled. The Inspector quickly gathered evidence. He noted blood on a letter opener, even though Lord Hooke did not have any cuts or abrasions. The blood sample proved to be type O, Rh-negative. The quick-thinking inspector gathered all members of the family and began taking blood samples. The inspector gathered further information. Some of the family members were wearing long-sleeved shirts, so the inspector found it difficult to determine whether or not freckles were present on the arms. Note that the gene for freckles is dominant to the gene for no freckles. The crafty inspector drew the family close together and, while puffing on his pipe, indicated that he had found the murderer. He explained that Lady Hooke had been unfaithful to her husband. One of the heirs to the fortune was not really a sibling. The murder was committed to preserve a share of the fortune. (Borrowed from Case Study: A Murder Mystery, Ritter et al, 1993, Biology, Nelson Canada) Who was the murderer? How did the inspector eliminate the other family members?
