For the answer to the question above, it is <span>Considered as a cell shaped like a perfect </span>sphere<span>: it has a surface area of 4πr </span>2<span>, and a volume of (4/3)πr </span>3<span>. The surface-to-volume ratio of a </span>sphere<span> is 3/r; as the cell gets bigger, its surface-to-volume ratio decreases, making diffusion less efficient.</span>
When a cell has a convoluted surface such as it has flagella, cilia and other locomotion organs as part of its essential body structure then such cells have a high ratio of surface area to volume .
In such conditions the surface area increases but the volume decreases . However there certain losses due to high surface area such as loss of water and dissolved nutrients
<span>The nurse should consult the most recent published materials regarding prescription drugs, whether referencing this material in print or on the internet. The nurse should check the purpose of the drug, drug interactions and possible side effects.</span>
