Discussion
Surface area/volume ratio of bacteria is exceedingly low compared to the same ratio for larger organisms of similar shape.
Answer: B
Correct answer: False
The opposite is true: because surface area falls with the square of the linear dimension and volume with the cube, a very small cell has an exceedingly high surface-to-volume ratio. That is the central advantage of being small - a large membrane area serving a small cytoplasm allows rapid uptake of nutrients and rapid growth.
