Chapter 4, Problem 3SQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Nutrients and oxygen exchange occurs through the cell membrane into the cells. This diffusion and cell size are based on the surface-to-volume ratio. Small cells easily allow this diffusion in and out of the cells and large sized cells take time for this diffusion.
