B. Small cells have a greater surface-to-volume ratio than larger cells.

O

O

C. Small cells move more quickly than larger cells.

O

D. Small cells have a smaller surface-to-volume ratio than larger

cells.

B. Because cells to have a greater surface to volume ration than larger ones

B. Small cells have a greater surface-to-volume ratio than larger cells.

Explanation:

If a cell is too large, nutrients simply aren't able to diffuse through the entire volume of the cell quickly enough ... Smaller cells have a much greater surface area to volume ratio allowing material to diffuse throughout the entire volume of the cell quickly and efficiently.
