Question

Which can more efficiently supply nutrients and

expel waste products?
A. larger cells
B. smaller cells
C. cells with lower surface area to volume ratio
D. cells shaped like a cube​

Answer 1

Smaller Cells

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, small cells have larger surface area but smaller volume, its vice versa for larger cells.

Not to forget that the functions of a cell are related to the diffusion, osmosis and active transport movement.

Factors to consider for a faster diffusion/ osmotic movement includes:

Surface Area

Size of molecule

Difference in concentration gradient

Temperature

Distance

So as per the factors, when there is a larger surface area, the rate diffusion/ osmosis increases hence increasing its efficiency.
