The colonization of America may cause the price of gold to increase so that the West African kingdoms can become even more prosperous.

a. It would cause the price of gold to increase so that West African kingdoms became even more prosperous.

Explanation:

Timbuktu faces some minor effects as its gold markets are not primarily European. The demand of African gold is decreased as Europe acquires gold from its American colonies.

The Europeans seek Africa for a wellspring of work to use in the Americas since European sicknesses cleared out a great part of the indigenous work power.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
