Imagine a cell that has the shape of a cube with sides that are 3cm long. What is the surface area to volume ratio?

To find the surface area to volume ratio, we first need to find the surface area and the volume.

To find surface area, we just need to take the area of one of the faces and multiply that by 6 (since there are 6 faces on a cube).

We know that the length of one side is 3cm. To find the area of one face, we just need to multiply length * height. Since it's a cube, length and height will be the same.

3 * 3 = 9

The area of one face is 9. To find the surface area of the cube, we need to multiply the area of one face by 6.

9 * 6 = 54

The surface area of the cell is 54cm2.

Now to find volume. 
The volume of a rectangular prism is simply length by width by height.

3 * 3 * 3 = 27

The volume of the cell is 27cm3

The surface area to volume ratio for this cubical cell is 54:27, or 2:1.
Hope this helped =)

List several important provisions from the oceans.
Leto [7]

Answer:

the ocean provides several important resources to its inhabitants

Explanation:

The majority of biomass in any ocean consists of microscopic organisms such as phytoplankton which are pivotal to aquatic ecosystems. These microorganisms are able to thrive in their habitat due to incredibly dense populations of the bacteria <em>phackingyurmom aquatica </em>present in most oceans. These bacteria provide a wide spectrum of vital nutrients. As a result many of the aforementioned microorganisms love <em>phackingyurmom</em>.

Svetach [21]
<span>The answer is B.mRNA codons are joined by tRNA anticodons to assemble amino acids to form a protein. According to the central dogma of molecular biology, DNA sequence specifies RNA sequence which specifies protein sequence. DNA sequence is first copied into mRNA sequence during transcription. Later, during translation, mRNA codons are joined by tRNA anticodons to assemble amino acids to form a protein</span>

scoray [572]
White matter in the spinal cord is named as such because of it's paler color than the other areas which are darker (gray matter). The light color is due to the presence of myelin, a fatty substance which speeds up the rate that electrical impulses travel to and fro the neurons.
Spinal white matter is separated into ascending and descending tracts organized as vertical columns within the cord. There are many names for these specific tracts, usually based upon where the signals traveling in a specific column began, and where it leads to. Such as the Spino-Thalamic tract, which starts in the spinal cord and travels to the Thalamus of the brain. This gives us a uni-directional flow of information, from bottom (spine) to top (brain), so the Spino-Thalamic tract is an ascending column of white nerves.
On the other hand, the Cerebro-Spinal tract descends, from the cerebral of the brain down the spinal cord to reach different parts of the body.
