Answer:

1.Small cell: has larger surface-area to volume ratio

Bigger Cell: has little space to volume ratio

2. Surface area to volume ratio, in simple means the size of surface area to the volume of substance that can pass through it at a particular time.

Amoeba and some bacteria's are flat and have large surface area to volume ratio. So the diffusion rate is very high due to large surface area.

Where as humans have small surface area: volume so diffusion is very slow or does not take place at all.

3. Diffusion and Cell Size

The larger a cell is, the greater the surface area available for diffusion. ... Smaller cells have a much greater surface area to volume ratio allowing material to diffuse throughout the entire volume of the cell quickly and efficiently.

Answer:

walk or bike reduces CO2

using computers helps save forests

treating sewage water conserves freshwater aquifers

Explanation:

walking reduces CO2 by not using a car train or bus that puts out CO2

computers for note taking saves forests by reducing the amount of paper we use, therefore cutting down less trees to make the paper

treating sewage water and reusing it in factories conserves freshwater aquifers because we're recycling used water rather than continuing to use more and more freshwater.

Explanation:

Cell theory states that living things are comprised of cells, as their smallest units capable of functioning. Microscopy helps to prove this, as cells and their varying components can readily be seen, observed and later classified. Their components and molecules require the closed system of the cell in order to function with different arrangements and features being key to certain phyla, groups and species; this aided in the reclassification of organisms into the kingdoms and phyla we know today.

Theories are repeatedly testable observations about phenomena in the natural world; they are based on a rigorous review process, that, includes experimentation and evaluation.If new information about these phenomena is made available by technological advancement, novel observations can be incorporated into experiments, which would change cell theory.
