Question

This shows the comparison between the size of the outside of an object and the

amount it can hold inside it. Often used as an example when explaining why a cell might divide.

Answer 1

Correct Answer: Surface area:volume ratio

Answer 2

Cells divide by two processes which are termed as mitosis and meiosis. All the cells in the body divide by the process of mitosis except the sex cells. The sex cells divide by the process of meiosis.

Before cell division occurs, the cells enter the Interphase. During interphase, many new organelles such as the ribosomes are formed. This causes the cell to grow in size. As a result, the cell undergoes division.
