11.1 Cell Size and Growth

This determines the cell's demand

• Volume

• Surface Area

• Surface Area to Volume Ratio

• By the size of the nutrients entering the cell

Answer explanation

The cell's demand is determined by its volume, which determines the amount of nutrients it needs.

Which cells are more efficient at obtaining nutrients?

• Small Cells

• Medium Size Cells

• Large Cells

• X-Large Cells

Answer explanation

Small cells are more efficient at obtaining nutrients because their small size allows for a higher surface area to volume ratio, facilitating faster nutrient absorption.

The absorption of nutrients is determined by...

• The cell's volume

• The cell's surface area

• The cell's ribosomes

• The cell's DNA

Answer explanation

The absorption of nutrients is determined by the cell's surface area, which allows for more efficient exchange of substances.

The amount of nutrients needed is determined by...

• The cell's volume

• The cell's surface area

• The cell's Rough ER

• The cell's Smooth ER

Answer explanation

The amount of nutrients needed is determined by the cell's volume, which determines the metabolic activity and energy requirements of the cell.

What does not grow with the cell?

• DNA

• Vacoules

• Mitochondria

• None of the above

Answer explanation

DNA does not grow with the cell as it remains constant throughout cell growth and division.

Which type of cell will make greater demands for DNA?

• small cell

• large cell

Answer explanation

Large cells require more DNA due to their larger size and increased metabolic demands.

Which type of cell is easier to get Oxygen in and waste out?

• small cell

• large cell

Answer explanation

Small cells are easier to get oxygen in and waste out due to their larger surface area to volume ratio.

Which type of reproduction makes a Diverse Offspring

• Sexual

• Asexual

Answer explanation

Sexual reproduction produces diverse offspring by combining genetic material from two parents, resulting in unique combinations of traits.

Which type of reproduction increases genetic diversity?

• Sexual

• Asexual

• A and B

• None of the above

Answer explanation

Sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity by combining genetic material from two parents.

Which type of reproduction requires more time?

• Sexual

• Asexual

• A and B

• None of the above

Answer explanation

Sexual reproduction requires more time than asexual reproduction.
