Aone characteristic of all living things is that they

really dont know just need some points

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!

you know that this symptom is misleading and quite often is related to: heart attack

a heart attack is a condition that occurs when the blood flow that transports oxygen to the heart muscle is damaged or cut off completely. the coronary arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood flow can be blocked by the accumulation of plaque. also, when the plaque within the heart artery breaks, it creates blood clot that can also hinder the blood flow. men that are over 45years of age and women that are over 55years of age are at risk of having a heart attack. the symptoms of a heart attack include chest discomfort, chest pain, coughing, and shortness of breath.
