Answer:

Explanation:

Because cell is present in every part of body.its contain small size

liah090807: The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger. Thus, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. Hope this helps!

unknown7729: thank you

liah090807: No problem.

❣Heya!❣

Here is your answer♡

Answer

⭐ Cells are so little, so they can

maximize their ratio of surface area to

volume. Smaller cells have a higher

ratio which allow more molecules and

ions move across the cell membrane per

unit of cytoplasmic volume. Cells are so

small because they need to be able to get the nutrients in and the waste out quickly
