End-of-Course Test Practice: The Biosphere
Professor Juneau is developing model of Earth's climate. Her goal is to describe a natural, long-term cycle of climate change, as well as to
explain and predict short-term changes to climate.
What property applies to all of the events that should be represented in the model?
А.
They alter the flow of energy into or out of Earth's systems
O
B. They alter the position of Earth in space.
C. They alter the concentrations of gases in Earth's atmosphere
D. They alter the amount of energy that Earth receives from the sun
E They alter the cycle of matter within the atmosphere.

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!
