as size an increases

if the size increases the volume a surface area increases but at different rates

volume increase : <C

Surface area increase : xh
· volume is
proportionalchemical to its
activity
·
surface area determines the amount of substances that can
enter from the outside 3 the amount of waste
products
that exit

As cell chemical
a
grows larger ,
it's activities ,
and thus its need for resources and its rate of waste

production, usually increase faster than its surface area
