FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Why is a high surface area to volume ratio important for cells?
Back
A high surface area to volume ratio allows for more efficient exchange of materials with the environment.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are the implications of a low surface area to volume ratio in cells?
Back
A low surface area to volume ratio can limit the cell's ability to efficiently exchange materials with its environment.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does the surface area to volume ratio influence cell size limitations?
Back
The surface area to volume ratio affects the rate of exchange of materials with the environment, thus influencing cell size limitations.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to the surface area to volume ratio as a cell grows larger?
Back
The surface area to volume ratio decreases as the cell grows larger.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Why can't cells grow indefinitely large?
Back
