The small size of cells _____.

allows for efficient transport of materials

causes food to be broken down slowly

slows down the removal of wastes

allows for fewer cell organelles

Respuesta :

Answer:

allows for efficient transport of materials

Explanation:

Living cells relatively have a small size, so small that a microscope is needed to see their structure. However, this small size is for their benefitting as it increases their surface area to volume ratio (SA:V).

A large surface area to volume ratio (SA:V) enables easy movement of molecules to and fro the cell membrane via the process of DIFFUSION. Therefore, having a small size allows for efficient transport of materials needed in the cell.
