Answer:

decrease

decrease.

Explanation:

The larger the body volume of an organism, the higher the amount of internal  heat generated.Likewise the higher the mass of the organism, the lower the surface area available to lose heat.

<u>Thus the greater the surface area to volume ratio available to  an organism in its environment, the larger the quantity of internal  heat to be dissipated in proportion  to its volume.</u>

Development in ectotherm  increases the  body volume cavity at  faster rate than the surface area, thus the ectotherm will have low surface area to volume ratio.Therefore the surface area  available to dissipate heat to the surroundings<u>  decreases</u>.

Thus  the ectotherm,  with  decrease  surface areas to volume ratio lose less  heat , because of limited/ decreased surface area exposed to the surrounding due to increase body volume.

how does carbon move from one pool to another
GaryK [48]
The movement of any material from one place to another is a called a flux. Carbon moving from one pool to another would be considered a carbon flux. BY just having some of the pool's essence get into another pool would cause the carbon to be transferred. Such as if someone jumped out of one pool and then jumped into the next.

hope this helps.

Answer:

3.1.1 Division of the cytoplasm - Cytokinesis

3.1.2 Uncontrolled cell growth - Cancer

3.1.3 Chromatids lined up at equator of cell - Metaphase

3.1.4 Chromatids joined at this point - Centromere

3.1.5 Mass of cancerous cells - Tumor

3.1.6 Skin cancer - Carcinoma

3.1.7 Growth and mitosis - Meristematic

3.1.8 Cancer causing factors - Carcinogens

3.1.9 Cancer cells that do not spread - Benign

3.1.10 Replicated half of a chromosome - Chromatid

Explanation:

The division of the cytoplasm is known as Cytokinesis. It occurs during the later part of the division of the nucleus in both mitosis and meiosis. In Cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of a single parent cell divides in two to produce two daughter cells.

Cancer is a disease condition that results when the growth and division of cells is uncontrolled. It occurs as a result of changes to the DNA either due to environmental factors or heredity factors.

Metaphase is one of the four stages in mitosis. During mitosis, the chromatids which are joined at the centelomere line up at the middle or equator of the cell.

Centromere is a region in the chromosome in which sister chromatids are joined together to form a short and a long arm of the chromosome.

A tumour is a swelling of a part of the body due to the abnormal growth of cells in that part of the body. A tumour may have the ability to spread or not.

Cancers that originate in the skin or tissues lining organs is known as carcinomas.

In plants, meristematic tissues are responsible for growth as they consist of actively dividing or mitotic cells. Meristematic cells are present at the tips of roots,stem and branches.

Carcinogens are agents or factors that are able to cause cancers. They include such agents like chemicals, electromagnetic radiations, some viruses, lifestyle factors, etc.

Benign tumours refers to growths in tissues or organs of the body which are non-cancerous as they do not spread to other tissues or organs in the body.

A chromatid is one-half of a replicated chromosome present in the nucleus of the cell. Two chromatids are joined together at the centromere to form the chromosome.
