The surface area to volume ratio of a cell limits?

Answer 1

The surface area must be large enough to supply the volume of the whole cell. Only a certain amount of molecules may pass the plasma membrane at a time. When the volume surpasses the surface area, the cell will stop growing.

Answer 2

by replicating..it doubles everything that it has inside the cell and then it divides on more cells.

by doubling causes the cell to stretch.(for example. picture your stomache when u eat more then ur body can handle it starts to stretch so your body can adjust to it.) this is the same thing=]]

Answer 3

a cells size determines it's function. for example, a nerve cell could not fit through a vein, blood vessel etc, because its to big, unlike a blood cell, which is completely round/samll-easily fitting in the vessel.

freshmen bio for me too. i payed attention (lol) but its kinda hard to remember anything else, i learned it so long ago =)

Answer 4

The surface-area-to-volume ratio of a cell limits its capacity to grow. Its surface area must increase at a great rate to compensate in the huge relative increase in internal volume, which is why some organic structures utilize folds (such as the cristae in mitochondria) to maximize surface area.

Answer 5

Cells remain small to maintain surface are-to-volume cell size.

Answer 6

a- the number of oragnelles that the cell has

b-the size of the cell

c-where the cell live

d the types of nutrients that a cell needs

Answer 7

it limits the cell's size

Answer 8
