Answer 1

B has smaller cells but more surface area than A

Step-by-step explanation:

B

Answer 2

The question is incomplete and the diagram is also not given. So the diagram is attached below and the complete question is as follows:

The following models show one large cell (A) and four small cells (B).

Which of the following states why one of the models is better for moving more nutrients in and out of the cell?

A. B is better because it has more surface area.

B. A is better because it has less surface area.

C. A is better because it has more volume.

D. B is better because it has more volume

Answer:

A. B is better because it has more surface area.

Step-by-step explanation:

The movement of nutrients in a cell depends on the surface to volume ratio. More is the surface to volume ratio, better will be the movement of nutrients in and out of the cell.

In the given model, small cells (B) has more surface to volume ratio as surface area of B is larger, so, the model B is better for moving more nutrients in and out of the cell.

Hence, the correct option is "A".
