A cell's normal surface area:volume ratio (SA:Vol) is 3:1. As a rest of unusual uptake of water, it expands in size so that its SA:Vol changes to 2:1. Which statement below best describes the cells response. 1) The cell divides because it has too much surface area for its enclosed volume. 2) The cell is able to take up more materials due the decreased surface area to volume ratio. 3)The cell divides because it can no longer adequately acquire the necessary resources for its survival. 4) The cell changes it cell membrane structure, halting the further intake of water.
