Why have lots of ribosomes
To make lots of protein so makes lots of enzymes for example
Surface area to volume ratio
Large (eg; 6:1)= small organism, always in contact with external environment so don’t need blood for example. Also rapid rate of heat radiation (so will get cold easily)
Small (eg; 2:1)= large organism, many cells not in contact with external environment so need an efficient transport system. Also slow radiation of heat energy so will stay warm longer.
