If a cell has a high concentration of waste that it wants to get rid of, which do you predict will be able to get rid of the was
te sooner – a smaller cell or a large one? Explain your answer, make sure to use the following terms in your answer: plasma membrane and surface area to volume ratio.
The larger cell would be able to get rid of the waste faster! The greater the surface-area to volume ratio of a cell, the easier it is for the cell to get rid of wastes and take in essential materials such as oxygen and nutrients through the plasma membrane!
