The surface area is used to get substances in or out through the cell's membrane.
The size of its membrane and the cell's ability to transport materials. Hope this helps!
In biology, the surface area of a cell is crucial for efficient exchange of materials. As a cell increases in size, its volume grows faster than its surface area, leading to a decrease in the surface area-to-volume ratio. To maintain efficiency, cells may divide or adapt to increase their surface area without growing too large.
