Questions and Answers

What is the typical diameter range of prokaryotic cells?

  • 0.5 to 15.0 μm
  • 1.0 to 10.0 μm
  • 0.1 to 5.0 μm (correct)
  • 10 to 100 μm
  • How does the size of prokaryotic cells affect the diffusion of molecules within them?

  • Diffusion is enhanced by larger surface areas only.
  • Waste products remain inside the cell longer due to size.
  • Smaller size reduces the rate of diffusion.
  • Ions and organic molecules can quickly diffuse within the cell. (correct)
  • What is the typical diameter range of eukaryotic cells?

    Study Notes

    Size Comparison

    • Prokaryotic cells range from 0.1 to 5.0 μm in diameter.
    • Eukaryotic cells are larger, with diameters between 10 to 100 μm.

    Diffusion Efficiency

    • The small size of prokaryotes facilitates rapid diffusion of ions and organic molecules within the cell.
    • Wastes produced in prokaryotic cells can also diffuse quickly, promoting efficient cellular function.

    Structural Adaptations in Eukaryotes

    • Eukaryotic cells require adaptations to enhance intracellular transport due to their larger size.
    • These adaptations contrast with the diffusion capabilities seen in prokaryotic cells.
