What is the main advantage of small cell size? 1. small cells can better take up what they need from the environment 2. small cells are less likely to burst than large cells 3. small cells can change shape easily 4. small cells require less energy to divide of the following clues would tell you whether a cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Explanation:
A small cell size has several advantages. It allows an easy transport of substances across the plasma membrane. Small cells have a higher surface area to volume ratio, which provide them a greater surface area for the exchange of nutrients and waste materials by spending relatively lesser energy.
Many small cells have more surface area than one large cell. With smaller cells, more surface area is available for oxygen and nutrients to diffuse in and carbon dioxide to diffuse out of the cell. Thus many small cells can take up oxygen and nutrients and release carbon dioxide much more quickly than one large cell.

ANSWER:-
- The main advantage of small cell size is that small cells can better take up what they need from the environment.
- 1. small cells can better take up what they need from the environment is the correct option.
EXPLANATION:-
- Small cell size enables easy transport of substances across the plasma membrane. Small cells have a ratio of higher surface area to volume which provide them with a greater surface area for the exchange of oxygen and waste materials by spending somewhat lesser energy. In a small cell, the nucleus is fairly near to the plasma membrane which results in a yielding transport of messages.
- Hence, Many small cells can take up oxygen and nutrients and release carbon dioxide much more rapidly than one large cell from the environment.
