c) How is a cell's potential growth affected by its ratio of surface area to volume? As the cell increases in size the volume of the cell increases more rapidly than the surface area which causes a decrease in the cell's ratio of surface area to volume and makes it more difficult for the cell to move needed materials in and waste products out.
Smaller cells have a large surface area compared to cell volume, while larger cells have a reduced ratio of surface area to volume. One reason why bacterial cells are so small is that they need a large surface area to cell volume to take in nutrients. Bacteria accumulate nutrients from the environment by diffusion.
