As a cell increases in size the a. metabolic rate increases. b. surface area to volume ratio increases. c. volume increases and the surface area increases. d. surface area increases and the volume d?
As a cell increases in size the volume increases much faster than the surface area. The possible answer is C.
What is cellular growth movement of nutrients and wastes as a cell size increases?
As a cell gets larger, it is harder for it to process nutrients. The increase of the volume of a cell also hinders a cell's ability to obtain nutrients.
Cell growth where a cell increases in size carries on metabolism and duplicates prior to division?
regulation
When the cell size increases does the surface-to-volume ratio change?
Yes.
What are some difficulties a cell faces as it increases in size?
Growing cells face a number of problems, amongst them include: 1) running out of nutrients and required growth factors. 2) running out of space. 3) Need for appropriate gas exchange. 4)The possibility of them bursting.
During which phase of cell reproduction does cell growth occur?
interphase- in preparation for cell division it increases its size. (cell growth occurs)
Does a cell increase in size and usually makes copies for its DNA?
True.When a cells size increases,it can't transfer enough nutrients throughout the cell if the cell size is big.So it makes copies of its DNA
Does the Golgi apparatus decrease in size when a cell increases its protein production?
yes.
When cell size increases the surface area to volume ratio does what?
decreases i believe(:
When the volume of a cell increases its surface area?
increases: by approximately the square of the cube root of the volume increase (that would be exact if the cell was a sphere). Or, in other words, if you double the size (diameter) of a cell. its surface area increases by a factor of 4, and it volume increases by a factor of 8.
As a cell increases in size does it usually make extra copies of DNA?
As a cell increases in size, it usually does not make extra copies of DNA. If a cell were to grow without limit, an "information crisis" would occur.
The size of cells is limited by their?
Cells are limited in size by the rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through its surface. volume increases faster than surface area and homeostasis is disrupted by a cell that is too large
