Question

Explain how surface area effects the growth of a cell.

Answer 1

surface area would affect the rate of catabolic/anabolic reactions that take place within the cell, it would also affect the rate of diffusion of molecules.

Answer 2

The surface area would affect the growth of a cell, because the larger surface area to volume ratio, the faster metabolic reactions(chemical reactions) can occur, also allowing substance to exchange in/out of the cell more effectively.
increasing the rate of growth.
The larger the cell S.A the slower the reactions would occur, thus grow rate decreases
