What is the importance of surface area to volume ratio as a factor limiting cell size?
|
|
As the volume of a cell increases, the ratio of its surface area to volume decreases
|
|
|
The size of the cell has to be reduced and kept within size limits due to SA/V ratio
|
|
|
A large volume means longer diffusion time
|
|
|
All of these

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Smaller single-celled organisms have a high surface area to volume ratio, which allows them to rely on oxygen and material diffusing into the cell (and wastes diffusing out) in order to survive. The higher the surface area to volume ratio they have, the more effective this process can be.
