Title: Explain the cell's surface area to volume ratio.
Course: Biological Applications in Agriculture (18308-I) > Section: Understanding Cell Structure and Functions

Explanation should include

- how to calculate surface area and volume
- how to determine the surface area to volume ratio
- the relationship between the surface area to volume ratio and the cell membrane’s ability to transport materials and gases into and out of the cell.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How do solute and solvent concentrations affect plant and animal cells differently?
- How can the shape of a cell alter the surface area to volume ratio?
