Question

When the budding cell matures, it will be approximately how many times greater in volume and how many times greater in surface area than its current size?When the budding cell matures, it will be approximately how many times greater in volume and how manytimes greater in surface area than its current size?
1. The new cell will be approximately 0.4 times its current volume and 0.6 times its current surface area.
2. The new cell will be approximately 2.4 times its current volume and 1.8 times its current surface area.
3. The new cell will be approximately 19 times its current volume and 22 times its current surface area.
4. The new cell will be approximately 462 times its current volume and 1400 times its currentsurface area.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B , The new cell will be approximately 2.4 times its current volume and 1.8 times its current surface area.

Explanation:

The size of any cell depends on the kind of nutrients received by it. If a cell grows in a culture which lacks sufficient nutrients then the size of cell may reduce and in some cases may become lesser than half the total size of original cell. However, in a budding cell, the cell division process gets delayed due to which cell gets sufficient time to grow in size and becomes equal to the size of cell of a fully grown human being.

Hence, option 2 is correct
