As a cell grows, what happens to its surface area to volume ratio? (hint: think of a balloon being blown up). how does this ratio change with respect to cell division?

Cells are the living entity that grows, reproduces, and divides. The growth of cell causes its volume to increase at a greater rate than its surface area. The SA:V ratio decreases when the volume of cell increases.

SA:V ratio is defined as the ratio between surface area exposed to surrounding relative to its body's volume. When the cell increases its volume, the SA:V ratio decreases, because the volume of the cell increases at faster rate than the surface surrounding the cell.

Cell division is:

The cell division have roughly same SA:V ratio. The ratio is advantageous because the cell can preserve its surface area to volume ratio. The high ratio indicates that cell can diffuse more substances in and out of the cell at higher rate.

complete the square on the right side of the equation;

-5(x + 0)^2 + 15

answer: d. y = -x^2 + 15

there are mainly three domains in biological classification namely; archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.

archaea includes all the prokaryotic cells which are characterized by their lipid membranes. they have branched hydrocarbon which is attached to glycerol through an ether linkage.

bacteria includes all the prokaryotic cells, the cell membrane of which are made up of the unbranched fatty acid chain. in addition, they are attached to glycerol through an ester bond.

eukarya includes all the eukaryotic cells, that is, the cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound cell organelles.

they can be autotrophic as well as heterotrophic, unicellular as well as multicellular

they include kingdoms like protista, plantae, animalia, fungi et cetera.
