If the question were more limited, you would probably have a clearer idea of how to answer the question; for example, “What do you know about how cells reproduce?” The same principle applies when you write a research report. Some topics are broader than others. For example, The Cell Cycle includes everything from the phases of the cell cycle to mitosis. In contrast, The G2 Stage of Interphase is a much narrower topic. You could more easily research and write a brief report on this topic because it covers a limited set of facts. When you choose a topic for a brief research report, make sure it is narrow enough in scope that you can explain it effectively. Use a topic web to break down a broad subject into several subtopics. First, enter your topic in the center of a web such as the one shown below. Then ask yourself questions such as the following: • What different kinds of areas does my topic cover? • What events does it cover? • Which phases does it include? Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. • Which types of cells or organisms does it involve? Use your answers to help you fill in the next group of circles. Circle the subtopic that you find most interesting. Then try to narrow that subtopic by repeating the questions above.

On another sheet of paper, choose one of the subtopics (e.g., interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis) to use as a starting point to make a web. Narrow it further by adding more circles to your web. Stop when you reach a topic that is narrow enough in scope to cover in a report. Write your topic at the top of a sheet of paper. Then write a brief, one- or two-paragraph report on your research topic. 16 From a Cell to an Organism Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. 4.

Name Date Class Enrichment LESSON 1 Why do cells divide? Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. A whale is many times bigger than a human. But the cells of whales and humans are nearly the same size. In fact, most cells are small. In plants and animals, most cells are less than 100 micrometers long. You cannot see them without a microscope. Cells are small for a good reason—their small size makes it possible to efficiently take in nutrients and oxygen and to eliminate wastes and carbon dioxide. As you have learned, nutrients and oxygen are transported from the outer cell surface to the inside of the cell. These materials must reach all parts of the cell. As the cell grows, its volume increases faster than its surface area. Eventually, the surface area is not sufficient to handle the large amount of material passing into and out of the cell. Ratio of Volume to Surface Area Let’s look at how the ratio of surface area to volume changes. Consider a cube that is 2 centimeters on each side, as shown in the image. Its surface area is 24 cm2 (height × width × number of sides). Its volume is 8 cm3 (height × length × width). The ratio of surface area to volume is 3:1 (24 cm2 ÷ 8 cm3). If the length of each side of the cube doubles, the surface area is 96 cm2 and the volume is 64 cm3. The ratio of surface area to volume is now 1.5:1. As the length of each side of the cube increases, the ratio of surface area to volume becomes smaller. The volume of the cube increases faster than its surface area. The same trend is true in a cell. As the cell grows, its surface area eventually reaches the point where materials are not efficiently passing into and out of the cell. 2 cm Surface area: 24 cm 2 Volume: 8 cm3 Ratio: 3:1 4 cm Surface area: 96 cm 2 Volume: 64 cm3 Ratio: 1.5:1 Cell Division When a cell’s surface area is too small for its volume, the cell divides or stops functioning. Cell division is the cell’s response to unlimited growth. By maintaining a proper ratio of surface area to volume, the cell ensures that it can interact efficiently with its environment. The small size also means materials do not have to travel far to reach all parts of the cell. Applying Critical-Thinking Skills Directions: Respond to each statement. 1. Solve Imagine a model of a cell shaped like a cube. Calculate the ratio of surface area to volume for a cell model that measures 3 cm on each side. 2. Summarize how cell size relates to cell division. From a Cell to an Organism 23 Name Challenge Date Class LESSON 1 How many are there?
