Question

2. Explain how the surface area and volume of cells affect the rate of exchange of materials in and out of cells in multicellular organisms. (2 points)

Answer 1

the volume increases faster than the surface area

Explanation:

when the cell increases in size the volume increases faster than the surface area because volume is cube where surface area is a squared. when there is more volume and last surface area diffusion takes longer and is less effective this is actually why cells divide.
