If the cells are spherical, the surface area increases as the square of the radius while the volume increases as the cube of the radius. Therefore, as the cells become larger, their volumes increase much more rapidly than their surface areas. Conversely, as the cells become smaller, their volumes decrease much more rapidly that their areas and so the surface area to volume increase.
With non-spherical cells the calculations are much more complex, but the general pattern still applies.
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.
It increases.
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
No. In fact, if they retain their combined volume, their surface area would increase.
Plant cells overcome the issue of smaller surface-to-volume ratios with the help of the central vacuole. The vacuole pushes the organelles and other cellular materials toward the outer edges of the cell
If the smaller cells' total volume is at least that of the larger cell then the smaller cells have the greater surface area.
they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
Larger cells will have a greater surface area-to-volume.

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.
