What is the explanation for the fact that most cells are small and have cell membranes with many convolutions? An important ratio in biology is surface area to volume. smaller cells have more surface area which allows more substances to diffuse in and out of cells. convolutions on the cell membrane increase the surface area which increases the rate of diffusion.
General Discussion. Candida Albicans is a normally harmless yeast infection found in the mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina. Candidiasis is an infection caused by a fungus called Candida; most commonly the Candida albicans variety. The Candida infection (also known as a yeast infection) usually affects the skin and/or the mucous membranes of the mouth, intestines, or the vagina.
Candida yeasts aren't affected by antibiotics so they multiply and raise large families. These yeasts put out toxins that weaken the immune system.. So you may experience repeated infections. Each infection is treated with another round of antibiotics, encouraging further yeast overgrowth, and a vicious cycle develops. A diet rich in sugar and other simple carbohydrates promotes yeast overgrowth.
