Question

Eukaryotic cells are 10–100 times the size of prokaryotic cells. How do eukaryotic cells resolve the surface-area-to-volume limitations that favor smaller cells? Multiple Choice Organelles keep reactions compartmentalized and concentrated. They have pumps that move gases and nutrients through the cell. Gases are taken up by active transport. They have membrane folding similar to some prokaryotes. None of the biochemical reactions in prokaryotes occur in eukaryotes.

Step 1

As cells get larger, their volume increases more rapidly than their surface area (volume grows as cube of radius, while surface area grows as square of radius). This creates challenges for larger cells in terms of efficiently exchanging materials with the Show more…
