PLEASE PLEASE HELP ASAP A researcher illuminated a filament of cyanobacteria with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of cyanobacteria to different wavelengths of light. He found that the bacteria in the green light changed in color from green to red after multiple weeks of exposure but were still reproducing at the same rate. What can you conclude about the change in pigmentation of the cyanobacteria exposed to green light? A. More chlorophyll a was produced in response to the green light exposure
B. The cyanobacteria were dying and were changing color in response
C. Red light instead of green light was being absorbed by the chloroplasts
D. More red photosynthesis pigments were produced to absorb green light

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!
