Question

as a cell increase in size , its surface to volume ratio decreases which causes the cell to function less eficiently discuss ways in which variations in cell structure can help overcome this problem

Answer 1

Surface Area to Volume ratio (SA:V), as the name suggests, is the total surface area per unit volume of something (in our case, a cell). As we know, surface area has units in square and volume has units in cube. Hence, Surface:Volume (or Surface/ Volume) is measured in an inverse unit of length.

SA:V =(SA)/(V)=x^2/x^3=x^(-1)
Before answering the question, it is important to first understand the relationship of the surface area to volume ratio of...
