Question

Why can smaller cells diffuse oxygen and nutrients at a faster rate?

small surface area to volume ratio
large surface area to volume ratio
large surface area
more volume than surface area

Answer 1

A further increase in the size of a cell could result in a surface area too small for adequate exchange of materials.: A large surface to volume ratio means that a small amount of living matter has a large surface through which nutrients, oxygen and wastes can diffuse.

Answer 2

It’s b. Large surface area to volume ratio
