Multiple Choice
Which statement best describes the relationship between cell size (surface area,volume,and average width or radius) and cell function?
A) Bigger cells have more surface area, more volume, more storage capacity, and are adaptively superior in many ways because of their greater size.
B) Spherical cells function best because they have a more favorable surface area : volume ratio, which explains why red blood cells and most bacteria are spherical.
C) The rate of increase of volume exceeds that of surface area, causing membrane transport of nutrients and waste to become progressively inefficient as cell size increases.
D) Since each feature is determined geometrically, the ratios for any two measurements and cell function capabilities remains constant regardless of overall cell size.
