s a 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

Answer: 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.
