Q

surface area-to-volume ratio

A

this must be large for cells because volume increases faster than surface area. if volume is larger the cell will need more resources and will have more waste and organelles are farther apart. and the surface area determines what enters and exits a cell. this explains why organisms are made of many small cells instead of a few large ones.
