It identifies the cell type :D
The Biology of the Cell Surface was created in 1939.
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.
cell membrane aka plasma membrane
The diffrence is that the cell membrane is just a barrier between the exterior enviroment and the interior of the cell, while the cell surface membrane exerts control over what enters/leaves the 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 .
A cell's volume is the amount of material that can fit into the cell. A cell's surface area is the total amount of material that makes up the outside of the cell. The ratio of surface area to volume is the amount of surface area per unit volume of an object or collection of objects.
cell wall/cell membrane
As a cell grows, its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area. This results in a decreased surface area-to-volume ratio. A decreased surface area-to-volume ratio may limit the cell's ability to efficiently exchange nutrients and waste with its environment.
cell-surface marker
As the volume of a cell increases, the surface area of the cell also increases, but at a slower rate. This can lead to a decrease in the surface area-to-volume ratio of the cell. A decreased surface area-to-volume ratio can impact the cell's ability to efficiently exchange materials with its environment, potentially affecting its overall functioning.
The rate of chemical processes which take place at the surface of the cell.
A small cell will have a larger surface-to-volume ratio.
