Question

4.2 prokaryotic cells
which of the following is true regarding cell size?
as a cell increases in size, there is more room for necessary reactions to occur.
the larger a cell becomes, it is more efficient at transporting materials.
a small size ensures proper transport of materials into and out of the cell.
a small cell is cramped and less efficient due to less room to carry out necessary reactions.
the surface area of a cell increases faster than the volume of the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

Small - sized cells have a higher surface - area - to - volume ratio. This allows for more efficient transport of materials into and out of the cell. Larger cells have a lower surface - area - to - volume ratio which can limit material transport and reaction efficiency.

Answer:

A small size ensures proper transport of materials into and out of the cell.
