The surface area to volume ratio of the cell decreases.
This decrease is due to the fact that the volume of the cell increases at a greater rate than the surface surrounding the cell, the cell membrane, increases. This change is also visible when we are blowing up a balloon.
When considering the cell division, the ratio remains roughly the same. It is advantageous for the cell to preserve its surface area to volume ratio, since a higher ratio means that substances are able to diffuse into and out of the cell at a fairly higher rate.
The temperature depends to the certain point
The theory is the Continental drift, the super-continent is called the Pangaea.
A control variable is a scientific experiment in which the experimental element is unchanged throughout the experiment
a control group is a group in an experiment that does not receive the treatment by the researchers (untouched by them) and used to see the changes between the controlled group and that of the group that received the vial
hope this helps
