Surface area is an important factor in limiting cell growth because?

Question

the cell can burst if the membrane becomes too large


materials cannot enter the cell if it is too large.

the cell may become too large to take in enough food and to remove enough wastes.

waste products cannot leave the cell if it is too small.

Answer 1

The cell may become too large to take in enough food and to remove enough wastes. Food intake and waste removal are processes that can happen only at the cell membrane. However, as a cell becomes larger, the ratio of its surface area to its volume decreases. This means that a larger cell will eventually have metabolic requirements due to its size that cannot be met by the limited size of the cell membrane. Some cells, such as nerve cells, become very long and thin in order to achieve large sizes despite this limitation.

Answer 2

Surface Area is *most* important because of the surface area to volume ratio that cells need to keep in order to get enough food. as cell gets bigger its surface area increases but volume increases geometrically so eventually cell could starve because food cannot get into the cell fast enough to keep it alive

Answer 3

a- if it has extra substance interior than can bypass away it heavily isn't waiting to apply and substitute products, bcd sound like they're attempting to trick you and don't make experience to me
