the cell’s chromatin condenses to form

chromosomes.

the sequence of growth and development stages that an organism goes through during its life

the space taken up by the inner contents of the cell.

•The ratio of surface area to volume decreases as a cell gets bigger.

•Cells with a higher ratio of surface area to volume can not sustain themselves more easily.

Diffusion is inefficient over longer distances

Cellular communication is more efficient in smaller cells.

The cytoskeleton transportation network becomes more efficient for a cell if the distance to travel becomes too large.

Chromatin is the relaxed form of DNA

The phosphate groups in DNA create a negative charge, which attracts the DNA to the positively charged histone proteins and form a nucleosome

The nucleosomes group together into chromatin fibers, which supercoil to make up the chromosome

A small cell has a ________ surface area to volume ratio than a larger cell.

The cell's surface area to volume ratio limits the size of a cell by limiting the transport of nutrients and gases into and out of the cell.

Which of the following is least efficient?

Which of the following has the largest surface area to volume ratio?

Most cells are ______ because it maximizes their efficiency.

The larger the cell, the _______ it will take to transport materials, process nutrients, or release wastes.

Generally, cells will divide once they become -

True or False. It is better for a cell to have more membrane folds in order to exchange materials with the outside environment.
