Cells

Summary #1
Standards: 2.A.3: b1-2
The surface area to volume ratio affects the ability at which a biological system can obtain
resources and eliminate waste. Cells with larger volumes have smaller surface areas. This
increases the need for resources on that cell. This is why cells are as small as they are. Smaller
cells have a more favorable surface area to volume ratio.
