Globally, the winter of 2014–15 was the warmest winter on record at that time, but it sure didn’t seem that way for most of the eastern United States. This region experienced record-low temperatures and extreme snowfall, especially in the northern and coastal areas. During this period of extreme cold and snow, it was not uncommon to see comments on social media disputing climate change. For example, some commenters took pictures of huge piles of snow and added comments such as, "This doesn’t look like global warming." Do these commenters have a point? Should extreme snowfall over the course of a season cast doubt on the theory of global climate change? Make a scientific argument explaining why you agree or disagree with these commenters.

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!
