Problem of a cell growth.:
Problem of a cell growth. Its surface area would be equal to length x width x number of sides. For example: 1cm x 1cm x 6 = 6cm 2 Volume: 1cm x 1cm x 1cm= 1cm 3 Ratio of surface area to volume is 6/1 or 6:1
Example:
Example SA: 2cm x 2cm x6=24cm 2 Volume 2cm x 2cm x 2cm =8cm 3 Ratio of a SA to volume: 24/8 = 3:1
Limits to cell growth:
Limits to cell growth When the volume gets too big, the surface area gets to0 small to meet the needs of the cell.
Major problems with cell growth. :
Major problems with cell growth. Not enough DNA. Moving of nutrients and wastes.
