volume of the cell. Hence the smaller the cell‚ the more surface area it has in comparison to its volume which means it’s more efficient in supplying the cell with the right amount of nutrients. The theory of surface area to volume ratio and its effect on the rate of diffusion is the basis of the experiment to be conducted. Cell size will be modelled using agar cubes soaked in the indicator phenolphthalein. The cubes will be cut into various sizes of 1cm to 3cm‚ then will be immersed into the acid
