A. Small cells contain no DNA B. Large cells cannot make proteins C. Cell membranes function only below one micrometer D. A high surface-area-to-volume ratio supports efficient exchange
Show Answer Correct Answer: D. A high surface-area-to-volume ratio supports efficient exchange
Explanation: As a cell grows, volume increases faster than surface area.
Small size improves transport of nutrients, gases, and wastes.
