Which type of solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink?
A hypertonic solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink. The size is related to the fact that the hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of solute outside the cell.
How does surface to volume ratio relate to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
What does a nucleus do in a palisade cell?
A little round purple thing that controls the inside of the cell.
When the onion cell is placed in the pure water the size of the cell would be bigger after one hour but when you placed the cheek cell into the pure water it will burst why is that so?
An Onion cell as a contractile vacuole. This allows the cells to remover more water especially when placed into a hypotonic solution. An epithelial skin cell of the cheek does not have a contractile vacuole. The acess water cannot be stored, therefore the cell bursts.
Is your butt cheek the same size as your head?

How many times would you have to enlarge a cheek cell to make it the same diameter as a tennis ball?
A cheek cell has an average diameter of 60 micrometers. A tennis ball has a diameter of 6.7 centimeters. This means that the tennis ball is about 1120 times the size of the cheek cell.
how does surface to volume relate to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
How does surface-to-volume ratio relate to the size of the cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.

How does the eukaryotic cell overcome the problem of its large size?
compartmentalizing cellular functions into various organelles
