Why do small cells work more efficiently than large cells?
-
They require less nutrients to survive thus producing less waste compared to large cells
-
The surface to volume ratio is greater for small cells than is for large cells
-
They can transport materials in and out of the cell faster than large cells
-
All of the above
📝 Detailed explanation
Small cells have a higher surface-area-to-volume ratio and exchange materials more efficiently.
