Question

question 5
if a cell became too large, what would be the problem?

• it would have to make more dna
• it wouldnt be able to divide
• the surface area to volume ratio would be too high and it would have trouble getting nutrients fast enough
• the surface area to volume ratio would be too low and it would have trouble getting nutrients fast enough

question 6
when plant cells divides, you can see a __ where the new __ is forming.

• cleavage furrow, cell wall
• cleavage furrow, cell membrane
• cell plate, cell membrane
• cell plate, cell wall

Explanation:

Analyze cell size limitations

As a cell grows larger, its volume increases much faster than its surface area. This mathematical relationship means that the surface area to volume ratio decreases (becomes too low). Because the cell membrane (surface area) is responsible for transporting nutrients in and waste products out, a low ratio means the cell cannot exchange materials fast enough to support its large internal volume.

Analyze plant cell cytokinesis

Using the Plant Cytokinesis knowledge point
During cell division in plant cells, the rigid cell wall prevents the formation of a cleavage furrow. Instead, vesicles from the Golgi apparatus fuse at the metaphase plate to form a cell plate. This cell plate gradually develops into a new cell wall that partitions the two daughter cells.

Select correct options

• For Question 5, the correct option is the one stating that the surface area to volume ratio would be too low, causing trouble getting nutrients fast enough.
• For Question 6, the correct option is "cell plate, cell wall".

Answer:

Question 5

• O it would have to make more DNA
• O it wouldn't be able to divide
• O the surface area to volume ratio would be too high and it would have trouble getting nutrients fast enough
• O the surface area to volume ratio would be too low and it would have trouble getting nutrients fast enough (Correct answer)

Question 6

• O cleavage furrow, cell wall
• O cleavage furrow, cell membrane
• O cell plate, cell membrane
• O cell plate, cell wall (Correct answer)
