a smaller cell has grater surface area to volume ratio than a larger cell

Question

im having trouble with the true and false maybe you can help me pleassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

Answer 1

Yes, it is true.  Think of it this way.  If you have a cell, or anything else for that matter, it will have a certain volume. Now, if you break it up into smaller pieces, the volume is still the same, but it now has more surface area that it did when it was a single unit.  So the surface area has increased, while the volume has stayed the same making the SA/V greater.
