Which Statement Best Describes the Relationship Between Cell Surface Area

Multiple Choice

Which statement best describes the relationship between cell surface area, volume, and average width or radius?

A) Bigger cells have more surface area, more volume, more storage capacity, and are adaptively superior.
B) Spherical cells have a more favorable relationship between surface area and volume, which explains why red blood cells and most bacteria are spherical.
C) The rate of increase of volume exceeds that of surface area; membrane transport becomes progressively inefficient as cell size increases.
D) Since each feature is determined geometrically, the ratios for any two measurements remains constant regardless of overall cell size.
