If the smaller cells' total volume is at least that of the larger cell then the smaller cells have the greater surface area.

Why are groups of a small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out?
they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
What is the importance of large surface cells?
To occupy a large surface.
Why are groups of small cells better than one large cell material in and out?
They have a greater surface-to-volume ratio. :)
Why is it advantageous for an organism to have many smaller cells instead of fewer larger ones?
Cells can only grow so large because the surface to volume ratio decreases with size. This ratio needs to remain large because it allows a better interface w/ other cells per size: the cell could not survive if it was too large.
Does Animal and plant cells have Large Vacuoles?
no they do not
what is the advantage of having many small cells instead of one large cell?
With smaller cells, there is a greater surface area.
Why are groups of a small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out?
they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
Why are small cells better then large cells for moving materials through membranes?
small cells have a greater surface-to-volume ratio than larger cells.
Why does a large object absorb thermal energy faster than a smaller object?
A greater surface area allows for greater energy transfer.
What would work more efficiently 100 small cells 100 medium cells or 100 large cells 100 huge cells?
Cells are most efficient when they a greater surface area and smaller volume. The larger a cell gets, the more difficult transport becomes and the longer it takes to reach homeostasis. !00 smaller (Faster) cells are the most efficient of the options given.
Which cell has the greater surface area compared to its volume the large cell or one of the smaller cells?
A smaller cell has a higher surface area to volume ratio. A reason for this is volume is cubic (3D) and surface area is 2D so when surface area increases a little bit, the volume increases exponentially. And when the surface area shrinks a little bit, the volume decreases exponentially.
Which statement is true for cells represented by these models?
There is more total surface area on the eight smaller cells than there is on the one large cell.
What is the importance of large surface cells?
To occupy a large surface.
Why are groups at small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out?
They have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
Why are groups of small cells better than one large cell material in and out?
They have a greater surface-to-volume ratio. :)
Why do cells seldom grow large enough to be seen without a microscope?
they are too small so they have a greater ratio of surface area.
Why would a group of small cells help an organism maintain homeostasis better than one large cell?
The group of small cells would have a greater surface area-to-volume ratio, so are able to exchange materials with their surroundings more efficiently.
