Question

A cuboidal cell and a spherical cell have the same surface area to volume ratio, but the cuboidal cell has a greater volume than the spherical cell. Which of the following is true?
A. both cells will take in nutrients and eliminate wastes with the same efficiency
B. The spherical cell will take in nutrients and eliminate waste more efficiently than the cuboidal cell.
C. the cuboidal cell will take in nutrients more efficiently, but the spherical cell will eliminate waste more efficiently.
D. the cuboidal cell will take in nutrients and eliminate waste more efficiently than the spherical cell

Answer 1

The answer is A

Explanation: don’t mind the volume, look at the surface area-to-volume ratios because they affect the efficiently of a cell to obtain nutrients and eliminate waste.

Hope that helps! :)
