Questions and Answers

What is a primary reason cells prefer to divide instead of continuing to grow indefinitely?

Cells can only absorb nutrients if they are small. (correct)

Larger cells can produce more energy.

The surface area to volume ratio becomes unfavorable. (correct)

Larger cells have more DNA to meet their needs.

How is the surface area to volume ratio obtained?

By dividing the surface area by the volume. (correct)

By subtracting the volume from the surface area.

By adding the surface area and the volume.

By multiplying the surface area by the volume.

What happens to the surface area to volume ratio as cells increase in size?

It remains constant regardless of size.

It decreases, complicating nutrient exchange. (correct)

It fluctuates based on the type of cell.
