For the answer to the question above, it is <span>Considered as a cell shaped like a perfect </span>sphere<span>: it has a surface area of 4πr </span>2<span>, and a volume of (4/3)πr </span>3<span>. The surface-to-volume ratio of a </span>sphere<span> is 3/r; as the cell gets bigger, its surface-to-volume ratio decreases, making diffusion less efficient.</span>
When a cell has a convoluted surface such as it has flagella, cilia and other locomotion organs as part of its essential body structure then such cells have a high ratio of surface area to volume .
In such conditions the surface area increases but the volume decreases . However there certain losses due to high surface area such as loss of water and dissolved nutrients
