Answer:
This is a question of the ration surface-volume. It is more efficient a shape that has more surface than volume
Explanation:
Imagine the shape of a mouse and an elephant in a cold environment. Who will lose heat faster? The answer is the mouse, for its volume (which is small compared to the elephant), the surface for which it can lose heat is very large. In contrast, the surface for which the elephant can lose heat is very small for its volume.
The same happens with nutrients if you have a great volume and a small surface is more difficult to exchange them.
Biofilms are resistant to antimicrobial chemicals due to genetic diversity.
<h3>How do biofilms increase antibiotic resistance?</h3>
Biofilms are considered as a reservoir of genetic diversity. The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance genes increase in biofilm due to horizontal gene transfer (HGT).
HGT can happen through the transfer of plasmids among microorganism cells in a biofilm through conjugation so that's why the antimicrobial resistance is higher in a biofilm than in free-floating bacterial cells.

The big blue area is the mitochondrial matrix. This is where the citric acid cycle takes place; also known as the Krebs cycle or Tricarboxylic acid cycle. The orange, green, and red shapes are (possibly) the complexes I, III, and IV respectively. At Complex IV (red), O2 or oxygen enters and H20 or water comes out as by product. The + (plus signs) are the protons which can be depicted as H+ in some diagrams. These + / protons drive the ATP synthase (yellow) to sort of turn around like a motor; and with every turn, ADP combined with inorganic phosphate (Pi in some diagrams) comes out as ATP -- the energy currency of the cell.
A neuron has a strong negative inner charge and a positive outer charge.
