As the size of the cell increases
As the size of the cell increases
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C The total surface area increase faster than the volume
As the cell becomes larger, the activity of DNA is increased since large number of activities take place in the same cell. The cell membrane increases its size because as the cell enlarges, more and more ions and gases and other molecules are exchanged between the cells and external environment. Therefore, the cells surface area has to increase faster than the volume of the cell or else the cell membrane could rupture.Thus, the correct answer is 'The total surface area increase faster than the volume.'
