Question

cell cycle

1. why do we have many tiny cells rather than fewer larger ones?

unit 3: test review

Explanation:

Answer:

Smaller cells have a higher surface - area - to - volume ratio, which allows for more efficient exchange of materials (such as nutrients and waste) with the environment. Larger cells would have a lower surface - area - to - volume ratio, making it difficult to meet their metabolic needs and remove waste effectively.
