Therefore, as gravity affects all things equally, regardless of their mass in grams or kilograms, and because 1 m/s 2 = 100 cm/s 2, the surface gravity of Earth could be expressed in cgs units as 980.665 cm/s 2 and at base 10 logarithm (log g) as 2.992.
The cell wall is only in plants, and it gives the plants structure. The cell membrane controls the movement of substances entering and leaving the cell.
Surface area affects the rate at which particles can enter and exit the cell (the amount of substances that it takes up from the environment and excretes into the environment), whereas the volume affects the rate at which material are made or used within the cell, hence the chemical activity per unit of time.
