Question
In a typical eukaryotic cell the surface area to volume ratios of the endoplasmic reticulum relative to the cytosol volume, the mitochondrial cristae relative to the matrix volume, and the thylakoid membranes relative to the stroma volume are all high. This implies that a. the total volume of these compartments is kept low in most cells Ob. all of these compartments are very metabolically active and have high surface areas in the cell to support their activity С. there is less need for a high surface area at the cell membrane to surface these areas d. all of these extra internal membrane areas acts to keep these compartments distinct from the surrounding ones e. these compartments are more essential than the nuclear compartment with a relatively lower surface area to volume ratio
