Which of these limits the cell size? is it a, the quantity of proteins and organelles the cell can make? b, the concentration of water in the cytoplasm.
00:14
C, the surface area to volume ratio of the cell.
00:18
Or d, the amount of dna in the cell.
00:21
So which of these is the most important factor? well, we could imagine that perhaps the amount of dna would be a limit if you have a ton of proteins you need made and you can only have the gene being transcribed by a single polymerase at a time.
00:38
So that would limit the output.
00:40
But this isn't the main factor, so it's not d.
00:43
It's also that would run into a, that would affect it, for the reasons i just described.
00:50
But again, this isn't the main factor.
00:53
A cell can keep up with protein production for the most part...
