In general, which type of scientific knowledge or understanding is least well supported? fact hypothesis theory law

The correct answer would be a hypothesis.

The hypothesis is defined as the proposed explanation or supposition made as the starting point for further experimentation and investigation.

It is made on the basis of very fewer evidence or on the basis of mere observations.

The hypothesis is tested by scientific methods after which it might be used as fact or theory or law.

Thus, it is the scientific knowledge which is least well supported.

did you fail the test? xd

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!
