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 =)

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: Sugar metabolism , DNA replication  and lipid synthesis.

Explanation:

The pathways or the phenomenon is very fundamental that takes place in all the living organisms.

These processes are fundamental to life and is vital for the growth and development of the organism. The cell proliferation and growth is also very essential in case of bacteria.

hence, these processes are highly conserved from one species to another species.

ValentinkaMS [17]
The biceps and triceps muscles work together to allow you to bend and straighten your elbow. When you want to bend your elbow, your biceps muscle contracts (Figure below), and, at the same time, the triceps muscle relaxes. The biceps is the flexor, and the triceps is the extensor of your elbow joint.
