volume ratio
(4)Exchange rate of nutrients is slow with small
cells

Answer 1

Answer:

option 3 is correct

Explanation:

if we compare 2 spheres of radius 2 and 3 meter and finding there surface area to volume ratio we will get that surface area / volume decreases as radius increases .

Thus we can say that small cells have large S A / V ratio
