CLEP Biology Exam Questions with Correct Answers What is the key limiting factor on cell size? - Answer -The size of a cell is limited by the ratio of its surface area to volume. A cell will only remain stable if... - Answer -...the surface area of the plasma membrane maintains a balance with the volume of the cytoplasm. The salivary gland... - Answer -...secretes saliva which enters the digestive tract and aids the digestive process. Gregor Medel - Answer -Studied the relationships between traits expressed in parents and offspring and the genes that caused the traits to be expressed.

When the water concentration inside and outside the cell is equal, - Answer -it is said to be in an isotonic state. Isotonic Conditions - Answer -are produced when water passes through the cell membrane by osmosis from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, to equalize water concentration.
