Which of the following best explains why what we know about cells is called a theory and not a law? (5 points) a We do not have enough evidence yet to call cell theory a law. b We have not reviewed cell behavior enough yet to call it a law. c Cell theory is still changing but may eventually become a law. d Cell theory explains cell behavior where a law would describe it.

b would be the right answer

answer: the answer is b

hello

answer: collecting information/data

reason: the student is going around and asking people questions to collect data

i hope this

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!
