Answer:

Due to increase of surface area, the nutrients move efficiently inside the cell.

Explanation:

The cells need to have a high amount of surface area as compared to their total volume because with increase of surface area, the nutrients move efficiently inside the cell. A large surface area to volume ratio indicates that the cell can be efficient in moving nutrients and waste materials around using through the process of diffusion but when the volume increases instead of surface area, the efficiency of the cell decreases, and cells won't be able to do its job efficiently.

Which of the following allows nutrients and other substances to be transported across the cell membrane?a. Carbohydratesb. Prote

Oliga [24]

Answer:

b. Proteins

Explanation:

Several transmembrane proteins serve as transport proteins and move charged, polar and large substances such as ions, amino acids, sugars through membranes. These are the carrier proteins and channel proteins. Each type of transport protein transports a specific type of substance. Carrier proteins bind the ion or molecule and undergo changes in shape. This change moves the molecule across the membrane. Channel proteins form pores through the membrane to allow transport of substances.

For example, aquaporins are transmembrane proteins that allow water to pass through membranes.
