what Plant cells often have smaller surface-to-volume ratios than animal cells. How do the plant cells overcome this issue?
Plant cells overcome the issue of smaller surface-to-volume ratios with the help of the central vacuole. The vacuole pushes the organelles and other cellular materials toward the outer edges of the cell
What is the microscopic level of relationship between form and function exemplified by?
Cellular receptors exist only on the outer surface of the plasma membrane
What is the formula for surface area of pipe?
2*pi*r*L where r is (outer) radius of the pipe (in case of the outer surface) nd L is the length of the pipe.
How do you work out the outer surface area of a cube?
The answer depends on what information you have about the cube. If, for example, you know the volume, V, then the surface area is 6*cuberoot(V)^2. If you have the lengths of an edge, s, then it is 6*s^2.
What does the surface area mean?
the area of such an outer part or uppermost layer
What is the area to cell's outer surface in relationship to it's volume?
The surface-area-to-volume-ratio

What cells cover the outer surface of the CNS?
Astrocytes.
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
Outer surface layer of cells of a plant or animal?
its called the epidermis
What do cells used bring in food and get of rid of water?
the outer surface :)
Peripheral protein on the outer surface?
Proteins many times line the outer surface of cells. These are used in diffusion and also provide support for the cell.
What do cells use to bring in food and get rid of water?
the outer surface :)
What is the advantage of having numerous folds in a cells outer membrane?
Surface area is increased.
Why are most cells small?
The surface area to volume ratio of a cell is important in order to pass materials the cell needs to survive across its surface. There is therefore an optimal size for a cell where it is large enough to hold all its internal structures and yet small enough for cross membrane transport. Any bigger than this and the cell will not be able to get enough nutrients into itself to live and function properly. Thus most cells are of this size (there are specific exceptions). ======================= There is a reason why cells are so small. Cells take in food and get rid of wastes through their outer surface. They need to have a large ratio of surface area to volume. Cells also don't have enough organelles to get the food through out the whole cell. ======================= They need to have a large ratio of surface area to volume ======================= Cells are small because they take in food and remove wastes through it's membrane(skin), so if it's surface area cannot take in enough food for it's volume, the cell can starve/poisen itself, which is why cells cannot be very big. (as an object gets bigger, so does it's volume and surface area. However, volume grows much faster, and if the object gets too big, the volume will exceed the surface area) ======================== The reason why cells must be so small is because cells need enough surface area to export and import all that they need. If they were too big they would not be able to carry out all the things that they do. ======================== Cells need to be small in order to have good surface area to volume ratios. It is important that the surface area be larger than the volume so that the things that need to get in and out of the cell can do so. Otherwise the cell could be poisoned by accumulation of waste or not being able to take in what it needs.
Outer surface of the cell that helps maintain the cells internal environment?
no the outer surface of animal cells are called the cell membrane, plat cells also have a cell membrane but they sometimes also have a cell wall, animal cells don't have cell walls.
What is an epithlium?
The term refers to cells that line hollow organs & glands & those that make up the outer surface of the body.
