What is limited by a cell surface to a volume ratio

Biology
1 answer:
nevsk [136]3 years ago
8 0
The important point is that the surface area<span> to the </span>volume ratio<span> gets smaller as the </span>cell<span> gets larger. Thus, if the </span>cell<span>grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased </span>cellular volume<span>.</span>

Describe each part of the geosphere including the parts that make up the lithosphere
snow_lady [41]

The geosphere is considered that portion of the Earth system that includes the Earth's interior, rocks and minerals, landforms and the processes that shape the Earth's surface. The geosphere may be taken as the collective name for the

  • hydrosphere (The hydrosphere is the liquid water component of the Earth. It includes the oceans, seas, lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. The hydrosphere covers about 70% of the earth surface)
  • cryosphere (The cryosphere is the frozen water part of the Earth system. The Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska. One part of the cryosphere is ice that is found in water),
  • atmosphere( is a layer or a set of layers of gases surrounding a planet or other material body)
  • lithosphere is the substantial, outer part of the Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth’s structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere below. The lithosphere is further subdivided into tectonic plates. The lithosphere is the most rigid of Earth’s layers.

Eukaryotic cells are 10-100 times the size of prokaryotic cells. how do eukaryotic cells resolve the surface area to volume limi
Katarina [22]

The surface area of a cell is approximated by the surface area of a sphere, given by the expression, 4πr². The volume of the spherical cell is given by the expression, 4πr³/3. The ratio between surface area and volume turn out to be, 1:r/3, or 3:r. This indicates that the SA/volume ratio is inversely related to the radius of the cell. Greater the radius, lower the ratio. Higher ratios are present in the prokaryotic cells This enables them to exchange food and water from their environment by the simple process of osmosis and diffusion. Eukaryotes have a larger cell radius and size. Thus, eukaryotes find it harder to exchange food and water by simple diffusion, rather they have specialised organelle present in the cell that actively transport food and water into the cell. These specialised organelles help the cell avoid the problem due to small SA/volume ratio.
