Question

What cell shape might increase the surface area and decrease the volume?

Answer 1

For the answer to the question above, it is Considered as a cell shaped like a perfect sphere: it has a surface area of 4πr 2, and a volume of (4/3)πr 3. The surface-to-volume ratio of a sphere is 3/r; as the cell gets bigger, its surface-to-volume ratio decreases, making diffusion less efficient.

Answer 2

Answer:

Convoluted surface

Explanation:

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
