Question

Surface area to volume ratios affect living things ability to obtain needed resources in element waste products. Explain why cells are small in size. Be sure to explain what happens to a cell when its volume increases. Include at least one of the strategies Celsius to improve surface area.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cells are small because they need to keep a surface area to volume ratio that allows for adequate intake of nutrients while being able to excrete the cells waste. That is why the cell needs to be small. The smaller it is, the larger the surface area to volume ratio is.

Eukaryotic cells are compartmentalized which is a method to increase the surface area as there are lots of membranes inside the cell across which many processes take place.
