Question:
What are the function of nucleus?
Answer:
- Nucleus controls all the cellular activities of the cell.
- Nucleolus is involved in synthesis of ribosomes.
- Nucleus contains hereditary information of cell.
- It is responsible for cell division (reproduction) and transmission of genetic information from parents to offspring.
Surface Area to Volume Ratio
Surface Area of a cube (SA) = (length x Width) x 6 Faces Volume of cube (V) = length x length length Surface Area to Volume Ratio = SA/V SA/V ratio of cube of 1 cm length = 6:1 SA/V ratio of cube of 2 cm length = 24/8 = 3:1 SA/V ratio of cube of 4 cm length = 96/64 = 1.5: 1 ⇒ SA/V ratio decreases as the sizes of the cube increases
