How do large, mature plant cells compensate for inefficient import and export associated with a lower surface area-to-volume ratio?
a. Large plant cells have increased lysosomic activity to increase import and export of substances to and from the membrane.
b. Large plant cells have a large water-filled vacuole in the center, decreasing the active cytoplasm volume.
c. Large plant cells have adapted a more efficient metabolic system, whereby fewer nutrients are needed for the structures located at the center of the cytoplasm.
d. Large plant cells maintain a large storage vacuole in the center that stores nutrients for use in the interior of the cytoplasm.
