- 3. The diagram to the left represents the distribution of some molecules inside and outside of an artificial cell over a period of time. Which statement is best supported by the diagram? (1) Oxygen molecules entered the cell over time by active transport. (2) Water molecules are too large to enter or leave the cell, so they reMained where they were at the start of the investigation. (3) Protein molecules are kept inside of the cell because the cell needs them. (4) The protein molecules are too large to diffuse out of the cell.arrow_forwardWhich of the following provides the most likely explanation for the limiting factor of a cell's size? A B с D As the cell size increases, its volume increases while its surface area does not. As the cell size increases, its volume increases at a faster rate than its surface area. As the cell size increases, its volume increases at a slower rate than its surface area. As the cell size increases, its surface area increases while its volume does not.arrow_forward1.
