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.
C. A wall of stones and mortar
This would act as a model describing the cell membrane.
Explanation;
A cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins.
A cell membrane hold the different components of the cell together and to protect it from the environment outside the cell. It acts as a boundary between the inside environment and the outside environment of a cell.
It regulates the materials that enters and exits the cell; through selective movement of substances in and out of the cell.
The smallest bone in the body is the stapes and it is the third bone of the three ossicles in the middle ear.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The continent that was not covered by ice during the Pleistocene ice age. This is because the southern location of this nation made it much harder for ice to form, even during this time. Hope this answers the question.
