Question

question 2 (mandatory) (2 points)
the size of a cell is limited by the ____.
a) lack of building materials
b) size of the organism
c) relationship between the volume of the cell and its surface area
d) job it does
e) materials it has to exchange

Explanation:

As a cell grows, its volume increases faster than its surface area. The surface area is crucial for the exchange of materials (such as nutrients and waste) across the cell membrane. If the volume is too large relative to the surface area, the cell cannot efficiently exchange materials. So, the relationship between cell volume and surface area limits cell size.

Answer:

C. relationship between the volume of the cell and its surface area
