LEARNING OBJECTIVE
CELLS 3.3(a) Describe how the size of a cell affects its ability to function efficiently.
Key Concepts:
- CELLS 3.3.1 Diffusion is most efficient when the surface area is high and the volume is low.
a. Small cell size creates a surface-area-to-volume ratio that enables more efficient diffusion.
b. The surface-area-to-volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger.
