Cells tend to be small, with sizes ranging between 1 and 100 mm. These small sizes help to ensure that cells have a favorable surface-area-to-volume ratio. Choose the statement that explains why a favorable surface-area-to-volume ratio is advantageous.
Higher surface-area-to-volume ratios improve the efficiency of transporting materials in and out of cells.
Lower surface-area-to-volume ratios improve the efficiency of transporting materials in and our of cells.
Higher surface-area-to-volume ratios speed up the flow of cytoplasm within cells.
Higher surface-area-to-volume ratios slow down the flow of cytoplasm within cells.
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain all of the following EXCEPT
Cell (Plasma) Membrane

Select all forms of cell transport that require ATP energy.
Facilitated diffusion
Endocytosis
Exocytosis
Active Transport
The diffusion of water through the cell membrane along its own concentration gradient is known as (a) .
The use of a protein pump (ions like Na+, K+, H+, etc.) is an example of ___ because ___.
exocytosis; ions are moved out of the cell
active transport; ATP is required
facilitated diffusion; a protein is needed for transport
endocytosis; ions are moved into the cell

Hypertonic
Hypotonic
Isotonic
In this kind of situation, the *initial* concentration of water is greatest _____________ the cell.
Inside of
Outside of
In this kind of situation, water will move _____ the cell, causing it to ___________.
into, swell
out of, swell
into, shrink
out of, shrink
Because cell function is so heavily dependent on effectively transporting materials across the cell membrane, cell size is limited due to the need for a (a) ratio of surface area to volume.
The point of organelles such as the mitochondria, golgi, ER, etc. all having membranes is to ...
Provide extra protection to those critical organelles
Increase surface area for materials transport
Prevent hazardous materials from escaping the organelles and damaging the rest of the cell
All of the above
Which organelle uses digestive enzymes to break down old cellular components and/or invading bacteria/virsus and recycles those components to other organelles for use in building new macromolecules?
Gap junction
Nucleus
Golgi Body
Lysosome
