Question

Two cells have the same volume but significantly different surface area values due to differences in their shapes. The cell with the greater surface area is likely to

Answer 1

Answer:

be involved in the rapid uptake of compounds from the cell's environment

Explanation:

Cells in an organisms are defined as the basic building unit of life. It is the most important unit in a living organisms.  Cells gives the structure to the bodies and carries the most important functions of the organism.

The size of the cells are important in performing many functions, which includes cellular communications, materials exchange from the surrounding environment, etc. The rapid cellular uptake of the compounds are proportional to the surface area of the cells or its size.

Thus, in the context, two cells having the greater surface area or size are more likely to uptake the compounds from cell's environment.
