- While eukaryotic cells are generally larger than prokaryotic cells, metabolic requirements place upper limits on how large eukaryotic cells can become. Which of the following statements does not accurately describe this? As multicellular organisms grow in size, they do not have larger cells; rather, they have a larger number of cells. As a cell increases in size, the surface area grows faster than volume. If a cell is too large, there will not be enough surface area for the exchange or elimination of oxygen, nutrients, and wastes. The surface area to volume ratio must remain as large as possiblearrow_forwardMicrovilli are commonly seen in cells involved in absorption of materials (like intestinal cells) because: none of the above they move cells forward they produce greater surface area of plasma membrane they move substances forwardarrow_forward
