Assertion (A): Cells are generally very small.
Reason (R): A larger cell has less surface area available for each unit of its volume.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Both are true and the reason gives the constraint: exchange happens across the surface while demand scales with volume, so growth beyond a certain size starves the interior. Large cells such as eggs get round it by being metabolically quiet.
