The correct answer is B) decreases; more difficult.

Unicellular organisms such as <em>Amoeba</em>, <em>Paramecium</em> depend on diffusion to move substances into and out of the cell. The surface area of unicellular organisms is large compared to its volume. Therefore, nutrients and other substances can easily cross the membrane and around their body.

As a cell's volume grows, its surface area/volume ratio <u>decreases</u>, making it <u>more difficult</u><u> </u>to acquire enough nutrients via diffusion.
