Cell SA vs Volume
Unit 4: Transport
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| As a cell's size increases, its __________ increases. | Volume |
| Does not increase as fast as cell volume, limiting cell size (surface area-to-volume ratio). | Surface area |
| Movement of substances becomes _____ as distances become larger, and so it limits cell size. | Slow |
| The ratio of surface area to volume puts limitations on a cell’s ____________________. | Size |
| True or False: The volume of a cell grows slower than its surface area. | False |
| Eukaryotic cells are much larger and have more specialized functions than prokaryotic cells because they contain ____________________ which take up space and carry out specialized activities. | Organelles |
| What is the mathematical relationship between surface area (SA) and volume (V)? | SA=V2/3 |
| What relationship between surface area (SA) and volume (V) must organisms achieve to ensure sufficient delivery of nutrients? | Maximize surface area (SA) and minimize volume (V) |
| One large cell is less efficient than many small cells because | Small cells have greater surface area to volume ratios. |
| How do you calculate surface area? | (Length x Width) x total number of sides |
| How do you calculate volume? | Length x Width x Height |
| The outside of a cell is its ____________ _______________. | Surface area |
| The inside of a cell is its ________________. | Volume |
