If a cell has a high concentration of waste that it wants to get rid of, which do you predict will be able to get rid of the waste sooner – a smaller cell or a large one? ​Explain your answer,​ make sure to use the following terms in your answer: plasma membrane​ and ​surface area to volume ratio​.

Respuesta :

The larger cell would be able to get rid of the waste faster! The greater the surface-area to volume ratio of a cell, the easier it is for the cell to get rid of wastes and take in essential materials such as oxygen and nutrients through the plasma membrane!

The larger cell would get rid of the waste sooner. The relationship between

​surface area to volume ratio and rate of diffusion in a plasma membrane is direct.

  • The higher the surface area to volume ratio​, the higher the rate of diffusion in a plasma membrane.
  • The higher the surface area to volume ratio​, the higher the rate of diffusion in a plasma membrane.

Larger cells have a higher surface area to volume ratio while smaller cells

have lower surface area to volume ratio . This explains why the larger cells

will get rid of waste fastest.
