! Chapter 3 Part 2 Organelles! Importance of Surface Area to Volume Ratio! Surface area to volume ratio limits cell size because:! Cell volume determines metabolic demands! Volume increases with r 3!

Ask me again if you still don t see it.! 7 Surface area to volume ratio - 2! The bottom line is supply vs. demand:! As cell size increases, volume increases.! ü But volume increases more rapidly that surface area. ( X 3 vs. X 2 )! ü Therefore, the surface area to volume ratio decreases.! At some cell size, demand becomes greater than supply. A cell can t survive this way!! 8 4!
