4. Cellular foundations
Page: 4 Difficulty: 1
Ans: C
The dimensions of living cells are limited, on the lower end by the minimum number of
biomolec ules necessary for function, and on the upper end byAthe rate of diffusion of
solutes such as oxy gen.
Except for highly elongated cells, they usually have lengths and diameters in the range of:
A) 0.1 to 10
B) 0.3 toA30
C) 0.3 to 100A
D) 1 to 100
E) 1 to 300A

C) eukaryotes.
D) heterotrophs.
E) none of the above.
6. Cellular foundations
