The physical characteristics of a cell influence how it functions. For example, the surface area and volume of a cell affect how efficiently waste is removed from the cell via diffusion. The table below shows data for four different cuboidal cells. Cuboidal cell Side length (um) Cell A 1 Cell B Cell C Cell D 4 Surface area of a cube: A = 6s2 Volume of a cube: V = s Using the information from the table, what is the surface-area-to-volume ratio for the cuboidal cell that removes waste via diffusion most efficiently? 2 3
