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.

What can scientists use to determine the type of plant an organism consumed?
Agata [3.3K]
Answer: Carbon 12 and Carbon 13

In plant, the ratio of carbon 12 and carbon 13 isotopes is different depending upon the plant photosynthesis. The distribution of these isotopes in plant tissue can indicate the path way of carbon metabolism that is either C3 fixation or C4 fixation. This help scientist to know if the plant consumed by organism is C3 plant or C4 plant by measuring the isotopic signature of their collagen and other tissues.

This can help scientist know which plant is consumed by animals.

Explanation:

Primary succession, type of ecological succession (the evolution of a biological community’s ecological structure) in which plants and animals first colonize a barren, lifeless habitat. Species that arrive first in the newly created environment are called pioneer species, and through their interactions they build a simple initial biological community. This community becomes more complex as new species arrive. Primary succession is distinguished from secondary succession, which is the recovery of an existing biological community after a disturbance sets back the community’s ecological structure to an earlier stage.

Which light source is part of the control group for William’s experiment?
jeka94

Wavelength light source is part of the control group for William’s experiment

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sir William wanted to conduct an experiment to observe how much heat passed through different colour filters of the sunlight. He directed sunlight to pass through the prism and observed vibgyor and measured the temperature. He found that the temperature increased from violet to red.

Then he was inquisitive to find the temperature beyond the red ray. That’s when he found the infrared rays which had higher temperature that was not to be seen through naked eyes. He performed experiments using the light source and found that the wavelength of light are not refracted in a particular pattern.
