Afleet of fishing boats removes most of the fish from the continental shelf in an area of the ocean. which of the following is the most likely outcome of this example of overfishing?

PLATO USERS

[ a ] the numbers of fish may stay low for a long time even after the overfishing stops

[ b ]  numbers of plankton will start to fall and earth's temperature will start to rise

[ c ] all other ocean organisms will die and there will be a shortage of nutrients on land

[ d ] benthic organisms will die off because they will not be able to eat fish for nutrients

[ A ] Correct Because OverFishing Affects Everything In The General Area. Leaving It Hard to Find Food Causing Organisms To Die Off Before Being Caught. Low food Source Means Low Population After Being Overfished.

[ B ] Plankton Do Not Affect the Earths Temperature

[ C ] Land Organisms Don't Have A Dependent On Fish Alone Therefore Organisms On Land Wouldn't Be Effected

[ D ] Benthic Organisms Are One Of Many Organisms Fish Feed On.

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!
