8. The diagram below shows the shift in the spectrum for hydrogen light from several different sources in the universe. What is the best argument that can be made from this data?
More distant galaxies are moving toward us faster.
More distant galaxies are brighter.
More distant galaxies are not as bright.
More distant galaxies are moving away faster.

more distant galaxies are moving away faster.

the shift towards red (Doppler effect like with sound on Earth) is the indication.

Explanation:

what did this have to do with biology ?

and by the way, this is also something I debate severely in scientific communities, because yes, the red shift is there. but "more distant" also means "more in the past", so that the data shows us actually that things in the past moved faster away. not necessarily today ...

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!
