Detailed explanation-1: -Smaller single-celled organisms have a high surface area to volume ratio, which allows them to rely on oxygen and material diffusing into the cell (and wastes diffusing out) in order to survive. The higher the surface area to volume ratio they have, the more effective this process can be.
Detailed explanation-2: -Seeing that the surface area to volume ratio of cells generally decreases as cells get larger, making the exchange of resources, waster and heat more and more difficult.
Detailed explanation-3: -The surface area-to-volume ratio is a property of a cell. As the name implies, it describes the relative amount of surface area and volume in the cell. This property impacts on the maximum size that cells can achieve.
Detailed explanation-4: -As the surface area and the surface-to-volume ratio of a cell increases, so does its ability to exchange materials. The rate increased almost linearly with increasing surface-to-volume ratio. As cells perform their normal functions, they need to exchange materials with the world outside of the cellular membrane.
