| As a object gets larger does volume or surface area increase faster? | surface area |
| A object that is larger has | a smaller surface area to volume ratio |
| A object that is smaller has | a bigger surface area to volume ratio |
| Is a smaller or larger surface area to volume ratio (SA:V) better for diffusion? | -a larger surface area: volume ratio due to how it proves it allows for a more efficient movement of material |
| Are bigger or smaller cells better for diffusion | - smaller cells due to how diffusion works best when substances don't travel far |

| Why is it important for organelles to be membrane bound? | -allows for specialization -creates extra surface area to perform functions |
| Why is ATP so good for energy | - its bonds can easily be broken apart and the energy that is released from them can be quickly absorbed |
