What is the significance of the high surface area-to-volume ratio in archaea and bacteria?
- It enhances their ability to synthesize proteins
- It allows their plasma membrane to sustain all vital functions (correct)
- It enables them to develop internal membranes
- It increases their resistance to environmental stress
Why is it suggested that eukaryotic cells with large volumes could not survive with a plasma membrane as their only membrane?
Why is it suggested that eukaryotic cells with large volumes could not survive with a plasma membrane as their only membrane?
- They lack the necessary genetic material
- They have limited energy production
- They have a small surface-to-volume ratio (correct)
- They are more susceptible to viral infections
