Why are cells so small? - Cuntorio

Cells come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Bacteria are among the smallest (0.2--0.3 j.1m indiameter), while cells of plants and animals are generally larger (10-50 f.lrn in diameter).Cellular size is determined by the surfacelvolume ratio required to maintain access to thesubstances and enzymes that cells need to complete their functions.
