The information in the table shows that as an organism gets larger in size‚ its surface area to volume ratio will decrease. However‚ the smaller the organism is‚ the greater its surface area to volume ratio will be. A small uncellular organism would have a large surface area in which diffusion (the movement of molecules) can take place. Diffusion is essential
