What are the limitations of the plant and animal cell?
The plant cell has a chloroplast and the animal cell does not.
What organelle allows a cell to exceed normal cell limitations?
mitochondria
What happens to the cell's surface area as it grows?
the cell surface will grow along with the cell.
Explain why cells have a size limit?
If a cell doubles in diameter, its surface will increase by a factor 4, but its volume by a factor of 8. So, basically, the surface gets smaller and smaller, as compared to its volume. This imposes some limitations. Another way to put it is that some parts of a big supercell will be too far from the surface - so they don't get enough oxygen, for example.
What is the importance of selective permeability in a cell?
It avoids the entry of unnecessary substances.It is important in protection and efficient function.
When was The Biology of the Cell Surface created?
The Biology of the Cell Surface was created in 1939.
What limitations does a person with sickle cell have?
Very little outside
What is the definition of cell surface area?
The surface area of a cell is defined as the total area encompassing the perimeter of the outer cell layer. The surface area of a cell is an important part of the Surface Area to Volume Ratio in terms of the effect it has on molecules that are entering or exit the cell.
What controls the movement in and out of the cell in plant cells?
cell membrane aka plasma membrane
How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
As the cell grows larger the ratio of surface area to volume increases. Larger cell = more volume for the amount surface area.
What is the outer boundary of a cheek cell called?
The outer edge of a plant cell is called the cell wall
How does surface area describe a cell?
Surface area of cell is divided volume of cell to get surface to volume ratio . If surface area is 8 cm2 and volume is 2 cm2 . The ratio would be 4:1 .
