1.1.U3: Surface area to volume ratio is important in the limitation of cell size.
Objectives:
- Calculate the surface area, volume and SA:V ratio of a cube.
- Explain the benefits & limitations of using cubes to model the surface area and volume of a cell.
- Describe the relationship between cell size and the SA:V ratio of the cell.
- Explain why cells are often limited in size by the SA:V ratio.
- List three adaptations of cells that maximize the SA: volume ratio.
