Why do small cells work more efficiently than large cells?

  1. They require less nutrients to survive thus producing less waste compared to large cells
  2. The surface to volume ratio is greater for small cells than is for large cells
  3. They can transport materials in and out of the cell faster than large cells
  4. All of the above

📝 Detailed explanation

Small cells have a higher surface-area-to-volume ratio and exchange materials more efficiently.
