1As a cell becomes larger, its
- Asurface area increases faster than its volume
- Bsurface area stays the same, but its volume increases
- Cvolume increases faster than its surface area
- Dvolume increases, but its surface area stays the same
2If the surface area of a cell that is shaped like a cube increases 100 times, its volume increases about
- A1000 times
- B10 times
- C5 times
- D100 times
3All of the following are problems that growth causes for cells EXCEPT
- Amore demands on DNA
- Bexpelling wastes
- Cexcess oxygen
- Dobtaining enough food
4Compared to small cells, large cells have more trouble
- Adividing
- Bmoving needed materials and waste products out
- Cproducing daughter cells
- Dstoring needed materials and waste products
5After cell division, each daughter cell has
- Aa lower surface area/volume ratio than the parent cell
- Ba higher surface area/volume ratio than the parent cell
- Cless DNA in its nucleus than the parent cell
- Dmore DNA in its nucleus than the parent cell
6A multicellular organism begins life as a single cell—a fertilized egg with a complete set of chromosomes. The picture in Figure 10–2 above shows how the cell divides to become two cells, then four cells, eight cells, and so on. Which of the following statements best describes what happens during this process?
- AChromosomes are divided evenly during cell division so that each new daughter cell has an equal share of the original set.
- BChromosomes are randomly distributed during cell division so that some new cells have partial sets while others have complete sets.
- CChromosomes are duplicated before cell division so that each new daughter cell has a complete set.
- DChromosomes are stored in the original cell to direct the division of all daughter cells, which do not have their own chromosomes.
7Which pair includes a phase of the cell cycle and a cellular process that occurs during that phase?
- AM phase, cell growth
