Understanding Surface Area to Volume Ratio: A Key Limiting Factor in Cell Growth

This learning outcome focuses on the importance of surface area to volume ratio as a limiting factor in cell size. We will conduct a lab investigation to explore this concept through experiments involving Saccharomyces cerevisiae and varying glucose concentrations. Prior to beginning the lab, we'll review the key points from an article titled "The Unsexiest Thing in Science," which will guide us in understanding cell growth limitations, scaling effects, and the significance of maintaining optimal conditions for organisms.
