Pugh · Answer 1

Increase by a factor of 1000.

Explanation:

The cell surface and cell volume is important for the diffusion of the cell. The increase in the cell volume can be calculated as follows:

The initial volume and surface area is X.

The surface area is increased by the the factor 100. The cell has the tendency to increase the volume by 10 times.

Surface area increased * 10 = Volume of cell

Volume of cell = 100 * 10

Volume of cell = 1000.

Thus, the answer is option (D).
