Which statement about energy is true for all living things? energy comes only from sunlight. energy cannot transfer from one organism to the next. organisms require energy for survival. plants convert energy into a tp .

Organisms require energy for survival.

Explanation:

All living beings perform certain life processes that are not exhibited by nonliving things. To perform life processes, all living things require energy. They require energy for respiration, growth, development, metabolism, reproduction, movement and many other processes. Some organisms such as plants can trap the energy of sunlight and can convert into the chemical energy of nutrients. On the other hand, heterotrophs derive their energy from autotrophs or other heterotrophs.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!

the correct answer to this question is #5
