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.

During respirations, select all that apply.
Helen [10]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- B and C.

Explanation:

The cellular respiration is the process of forming energy molecules through oxidation of food. The cellular respiration takes place in four stages: glycolysis, link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain.

The glycolysis converts the glucose molecules to form two molecules of pyruvate and two ATP molecules but the total number of molecules formed in cellular respiration is between 36-38 ATP molecules. The electron flow takes place in the electron transport chain which helps in the generation of the proton motive force used to produce ATP molecules.

Thus, Option-B and C is the correct answer.
