As the size of a cell increases

Biology
1 answer:
Hoochie [10]4 years ago

Answer:

The correct answers are-

a. Its metabolic demands increase.

b. It's surface area-to-volume ratio decreases.

c. Its ability to transport enough nutrients in and transport wastes out to meet cellular metabolic demands decreases.

Explanation:

As the size of a cell increases the surface area to volume ratio decrease. So a big cell has less surface area and small volume. Therefore surface area for transfer of metabolic substance per unit volume decreases so the cell's ability to transport enough nutrients in and transport wastes out to meet cellular metabolic demands also decreases.

But due to an increase in the volume of the cell the metabolic demand of cell increases because a larger cell requires more nutrients than a smaller cell to survive which can not be fulfilled efficiently due to less surface-area-to-volume ratio.

Therefore the correct answer is a, b, and c.

What is the herbivory effect?

Herbivory can affect the expansion form of plants by terminating shoot growth and initiating branching and by affecting shoot-to-root ratios. Changes in survival, productivity, and growth of individual plant species affect vegetation structure and community dynasty.

<h3>Why is herbivory important?</h3>

Herbivory can have substantial impacts on habitat health, the structure and variety of plant and soil invertebrate communities and the productivity of economically important crops. The positive impact of herbivory is widely debated within the scientific literature.
