The surface area to volume ratio
|
|
decreases as a cell grows
|
|
|
increases as a cell grows
|
|
|
stays the same as a cell grows
|
|
|
is much smaller right after the cell divides
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As the radius of a cell increases, its surface area increases as the square of its radius, but its volume increases as the cube of its radius (much more rapidly). Therefore, as a cell increases in size, its surface area-to-volume ratio decreases.
