The answer is <span>B. A smaller cell has more surface area than volume.
</span>This is simple mathematics. Let's imagine that cell is spherical.
Now, we have two spheres: one big (with radius r = 5 cm) and one small (with radius r = 2 cm).
The formula for the surface area of the sphere (A) is A = 4 π r².
The formula for the volume of the square is 4/3 π r³.
Now, let's compare two spheres:
Small sphere: Big sphere:
r = 2 cm r = 5 cm
A = 4 π 2² = 50.3 cm² A = 4 π 5² = 314.2 cm²<span>
V = 4/3 </span>π 2³ = 33.5 cm³ V = 4/3 π 5 ³ = <span>523.6 cm³
According to the calculation, the smaller sphere will have more surface area than volume. This can be extrapolated to all shapes, not only spheres, so the </span><span>smaller cell has more surface area than volume.</span>
The answer is (d.) Some scientists believe that prions, tiny proteins much smaller than a cell, that can replicate themselves may be living organisms.
Prions are like viruses, they are not alive making statement B to be true. Prions lack the ability to grow and reproduce. they are dependent on the living cells to replicate. Statement A is absolutely correct while Statement C is somehow wrong. According to scientists, the accurate count of cells in a human is 37.2 Trillion.
Heterotrophs are a type of consumer, where they eat other organisms.
They obtain organic food molecules by eating other organisms.

"At this time cow moose are malnourished and not yet recovered from the past winter's ticks. It seems too early, but an early start is essential so that calves are prepared to survive winter."
Hopefully this is right
