Presentation Transcript

  1. What is the size of cell? • 10 – 100 µm What happen to large animal? • They are multicellular Why cell cannot be larger? • Size effects the rate of reaction inside a cell How?

  2. What is the factor that limit the cell size? Surface area (A) to volume (V) ratio A V A increase slower than V The larger the cell, the relatively less surface to transfer / exchange materials/ waste

  3. What happen to the large cells? • They need to increase ratio A/ V How? • Change shape & structure: • Long & thin • Infolding & outfolding
