The effect of cell size on material transport

1 answer:

6 0

The greater the surface area of a cell, the faster the cell can transport materials across its membrane because there is more area to absorb/excrete materials. We also want the surface area much higher than the volume of a cell. the more volume a cell has the slower the transport of diffusion will be. If the cell is smaller because it has a higher surface area than it does volume. Because of this larger SA:V ratio, smaller cells will transport materials faster.

• why is gc typically limited to molecules that weigh less than 400 amu?

Anna35 [415]

Gas chromatography (GC) is a method of separating mixed compounds. The separation will depend on each compound's retention time. Compounds with higher molecular weights will elute out slower than those with lower molecular weight. This is due to their difference in boiling points. The larger the structure, the higher the boiling point.
