    Answer:It affects the diffusion across a membrane

    Explanation:

    Since this is placed in the AP section, I assume it is AP Biology, which the syllabus puts emphasis on diffusion

    The smaller the ratio is, the bigger the cell. SO, if the ratio is small enough, the molecule will not be able to diffuse through the membrane. Keep that in mind when you calculate different rations using the radius.
