A. Consider a large, cubic cell that measures 100 micrometers on a side. What is its surface area/volume ratio? B. Assume that a cell requires a surface area/volume ratio of at least 1 to survive. Would dividing this cell into 125 cells that together had a volume of 1,000,000 micrometer 3 ensure survival? C. Why is having a high surface area to volume ratio so important for cell survival?
