Questions and Answers

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?

  • 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
  • What is the significance of the high surface area-to-volume ratio in archaea and bacteria?
