Sa cell gets larger, its surface area to volume ratio a. stays the same. b. increases. c. decreases. d. becomes zero.

C, decreases.

incr. surface area but volume stays same hence surface area to volume ratio decrease

Decreases

Explanation:

As the cell grows bigger and bigger in size the area to the volume ratio gets smaller as it grows in size.

If the cell grows beyond the limit, not enough material will be transported outside the cell so it is not convenient enough for the cell to grow in size.

The accommodation of larger cell volume is not good for the cell as it would not be beneficial for the substances to move in or out of the cell.

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.

the correct answer is d
