c) How is a cell's potential growth affected by its ratio of surface area to volume? As the cell increases in size the volume of the cell increases more rapidly than the surface area which causes a decrease in the cell's ratio of surface area to volume and makes it more difficult for the cell to move needed materials in and waste products out.
Cell Size is governed by several factors: The size of the cell is controlled by metabolic requirements. DNA must be available to produce the enzymes and proteins needed for proper functioning. A too small cell will not have enough DNA to support life and a cell too large will need an enormous amount of DNA to carry on its functions. A second restriction involves surface area to volume ratio. As the cell increases in size, the volume increases geometrically while the surface area increases arithmetically.
