Ch 5 Notes Quizizz HBio/Bio

Why can it be hard for a cell to get enough nutrients and get rid of waste as it grows?

• Because the surface area decreases

• Because the volume increases more rapidly than the surface area

• Because the cell becomes too small

• Because the cell stops growing

What advantage do small cells have?

• Higher volume to surface area ratio

• Higher surface area to volume ratio

• Lower surface area to volume ratio

• Lower volume to surface area ratio

What does a higher surface area to volume ratio help cells do?

• Grow larger

• Maintain themselves more easily

• Absorb more sunlight

• Produce more waste

Why is the movement of substances more easily managed in a small cell?

• Because small cells have more energy

• Because small cells have more surface area

• Because small cells have less volume

• Because small cells have fewer organelles

What does the cell cycle prevent?

• Cells from becoming too small

• Cells from becoming too big

• Cells from changing shape

• Cells from losing energy

What is the first main stage of the cell cycle?

• Interphase

• Mitosis

• Cytokinesis

• Apoptosis

During interphase, what does the cell do?

• It divides into two cells.

• It grows, carries out functions, and makes copies of its DNA.

• It undergoes apoptosis.

• It remains inactive.

Which stage of the cell cycle is characterized by cell growth and function?

• Mitosis

• Interphase

• Cytokinesis

• Apoptosis

What is chromatin?

• A type of enzyme

• Jelly-like DNA in the nucleus

• A type of lipid

• A type of carbohydrate

What process is the cell getting ready for during Substage 3, G₂?

• Photosynthesis

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Apoptosis
