1. large surface area for faster and more transportation / absorption
2. long in shape for faster and easier transport
3. many mitochondria for more respiration which is needed for making energy for active transport
4. many in number for more absorption

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.
Why is a cell's size limited?
because the diffusion of a cell. and the volume surface area of the cell.
What happens to the surface area to volume ratio when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane?
The surface area to volume ratio will increase
A cell's volume grows faster than its surface area so if cell gets too large what would happen?
If the cell's surface-to-volume ratio got too small as a result of the volume increasing faster than the surface area, the cell would no tbe able to get the nutrients it needs to survive and would die.
What is the advantage of having a folded membrane surrounding the cell or within the cytoplasm or within organelles?
It increases the surface area of the cell membrane. By having more surface area, more matter can be moved in and out of the cell.
How has red blood cell adapted to membrane surface area?
The red blood cell's biconcave shape increases its surface area for diffusion. The lack of a nucleus makes this shape possible.
How is a root hair adapted for its function?
it is layered and it grows, it helps the hair cell when providing a greater surface area for water absorption
Cilia and flagella are cell surface structures that are adapted for 'what'?
movement
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.
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.
Describe what is meant by each of the following terms cell volume cell surface area ratio of surface area to volume?
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.
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 .
What happens to the cell's surface area as it grows?
the cell surface will grow along with the cell.
How does cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
because it has the surface area of volume
Describe cell volume cell surface area ratio of surface area to volume?
Look in the book broseff.
What is cell volume?
The volume is how much space is inside the cell. The ratio is the surface area divided by the volume. This indicates how much surface area is available compared to how big the cell is.
Why Does the surface area affects the ability to get materials in and out of the cell?
Because to get in and out you have to cross the cell's surface and if it has a bigger area more can happen than with a smaller area. To increase the surface area volume ratio, the cell can reduce in size or change its shape.
