alleryStart learning →Cells stay small mainly to maintain
AA small surface-area-to-volume ratio for storage
BA large surface-area-to-volume ratio for diffusion
CA constant temperature inside their nucleus
DA balanced osmotic pressure across the cell wall
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. A large surface-area-to-volume ratio for diffusion
1. The chapter section 2.5 lists two reasons cells stay small.
2. Rapid communication inside the cell is one.
3. A large surface-to-volume ratio for diffusion is the other.
4. So option A is correct.
