How do plant cells combat the surface-area -to-volume ratio problem?
cell division
How might the surface area to volume affect the ratio affect the abilty of a cell to take in and use nutrients from its environment?
Larger surface area can be favourable to increased rated of exchange whereas greater cell volume can be unfavourabe. Being a three dimensional structure the rate in which volume grows is higher than the rate of surface area growth.
What does a cell need to do to increase its surface area?
To increase surface area, a cell will have to grow. But most cells have restraints that interfere with too much growth. Only cancer cells don't bide by the rules.
How does the ratio of surface area and volume relate to the problems of growing cells?
The rate at which the cell increases in size depends on the DNA. The ratio of the surface area (calculated: length x width x # of sides) is divided by the cell volume (calculated: length x width x height). THE VOLUME OF THE CELL INCREASES MORE RAPIDLY THAN THE SURFACE AREA, CAUSING THE RATIO OF SURFACE AREA OVER VOLUME TO DECREASE. This decrease causes cell malfunction. If the cell volume increases too much, then the ratio will decrease causing problems for the cell's regular functions.
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 surface to volume ratio relate to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
Why are volume and surface area alike?
Think of surface area as your skin and volume as all the contents inside your body. So they relate because surface area can hold volume or volume could be inside the surface area.
How does the surface are to volume ratio relate to the cell membrane?
they're cousins
What are the two limits of cell growth?
volume and surface area
Fertilized egg enters cell division without further growth in volume?
blastulation
How do plant cells combat the surface-area -to-volume ratio problem?
cell division
How is a cell's potential growth affected by its ration of surface area to volume?
Volume grows exponentially in relation to surface area as both expand to allow an organism to grow. As such, because it takes more mass to fill the surface area, growth slows down at larger sizes.
What are three purposes of Cell Division?
growth developement and repair
How does vaporization relate to evaporation and boiling.?
Vaporization occur at the boiling point and from the total volume of the liquid.Evaporation occur at any temperature but only from the surface of the liquid.
How can you obtain a cell's ratio of surface area to volume?
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
