The nail breathes oxygen to live. The nail breathes the oxygen dissolved in the water.
Given that the aquarium is a small bioma there is not enoguh source of oxygen to replace the oxygen consumed by the snail, except for the oxygen produced by the aquatinc plants inside the aquarium.
Plants produce oxygen through the process named photosynthesis. Photosynthesis requires light.
Given that the aquarium is kept dark, the aquatic plants cannot carry out the process of photosyntthesis and so there will not be generation new oxygen and the snails will die after they do not have oxygen to breath.

Sexual reproduction occurs through the stages of meiosis. Meiosis itself has two different rounds.
In the first round, the cell grows, copies its chromosomes, and readies itself for division (Interphase). Then, the chromosomes themselves condense and match up perfectly with a partner (specifically called a homologue partner) in Prophase I. These partners trade parts in what is called crossing over. This increases genetic diversity because it creates new combinations of chromosomes with unique alleles. After Prophase I, the chromosomes prepare for splitting (Metaphase I), and the homologues are then separated and moved to different sides of the cell (Anaphase I). Lastly, the chromosomes successfully arrive at the opposite ends, forming two daughter cells (Telophase I and Cytokinesis). This ends the first round of meiosis.
In the second round, the cell skips Interphase, but goes through the rest of the phases, resulting in 4 cells.
Answer:
The correct answers are-
a. Its metabolic demands increase.
b. It's surface area-to-volume ratio decreases.
c. Its ability to transport enough nutrients in and transport wastes out to meet cellular metabolic demands decreases.
Explanation:
As the size of a cell increases the surface area to volume ratio decrease. So a big cell has less surface area and small volume. Therefore surface area for transfer of metabolic substance per unit volume decreases so the cell's ability to transport enough nutrients in and transport wastes out to meet cellular metabolic demands also decreases.
But due to an increase in the volume of the cell the metabolic demand of cell increases because a larger cell requires more nutrients than a smaller cell to survive which can not be fulfilled efficiently due to less surface-area-to-volume ratio.
Therefore the correct answer is a, b, and c.
