What does the rate of growth do during exponential growth?
Exponential growth implies that the rate of growth increases as time passes. So, it's not that "one cell" becomes "two cells" in two seconds and "three cells" in three seconds - that's linear growth. If you plot a chart of "Number of cells" against "Time" or "Number of cycles", the number of cells increases with a ratio greater than 1:1 each time unit or cycle.

What seven properties do all living things have in common?
The Seven Properties of Life:-made up of cells-reproduction-based on genetic code-growth and development-need for materials and energy-response to environment- maintaining internal balance
What is the direct result of a normal cells ability to express only certain genes?
Because the genes that are expressed affect every aspect of the cell, from the look and size of the cell to what chemical actions it can carry out, being able to turn some genes off and others on allows the cells to both respond to their environment and, in the case of multicellular organisms, have different types of cells. If the cells in the human body could not regulate their gene expressions then the cells of the liver would be the exact same as the cells of the heart and they would be the same as every other cell. In this situation complex organisms could not exist as we know them.
