Why cells aren’t biggerWhy cells aren’t bigger
If cells get too large in volume compared to If cells get too large in volume compared to their surface area then it’s difficult to their surface area then it’s difficult to distribute nutrients throughout the cell and distribute nutrients throughout the cell and too hard to get rid of build up of wastes.too hard to get rid of build up of wastes.
