How does the surface area to volume ratio compare between smaller and bigger cells?
Smaller cells have a larger surface area to volume ratio compared to large cells
What is good about a larger surface area to volume ratio in a cell?
A large surface area to volume ratio ensure no part of the cell is too far away from its external environment
What does a large surface area to volume ratio provide for the cell?
An adequate surface area for exchanging nutrients and waste
