A bilayer of phospholipids regulates cell traffic. There are five methods of transport across the membrane; diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, co transport and endocytosis/exocytosis.
Materials within a cell are transported by organelles such as vesicles and the endoplasmic reticulum. Between cells, materials are transported by the circulatory system, which includes blood vessels and the lymphatic system. Proteins such as transporters and channels also assist in transporting materials across cell membranes.
Exchange of materials between the blood and body cells occurs through the process of diffusion. Nutrients, waste products, gases (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide), and other molecules move across cell membranes to maintain homeostasis within the body. This exchange is essential for delivering nutrients to cells and removing waste products from the body.
Diffusion and osmosis are processes by which substances move into and out of cells. As cell size increases, the distance that substances must diffuse across also increases, making it harder for cells to efficiently exchange materials. Additionally, larger cells may struggle to maintain proper osmotic balance due to increased demand on their membrane and organelles.
A cell's size is limited because of the need for efficient exchange of nutrients and waste products across the cell membrane. As a cell grows larger, the ratio of surface area to volume decreases, making it harder for nutrients to reach the center of the cell and waste to be removed. This can lead to functional limitations and potential cellular damage.
The three main processes involved in the entrance and exit of materials in the cell are endocytosis (cells taking in materials through vesicles), exocytosis (cells expelling materials through vesicles), and passive diffusion (movement of molecules across the cell membrane from high to low concentration without energy input).
Capillaries. Since they are only once endothelial cell thick, they can exchange gas, nutrients, and waste across their membrane. Capillaries in the brain have endothelial cells close together to onyl allow a slecetive exchange of materials, while capillaries in the kidney or liver have gaps between the endothelial cells to allow the exchange of a lot of materials.
Because the materials can go through the small cell faster
Cells Must divide: for health (white blood cells will increase in #'s in response to a virus attack) for regeneration (replacement of aging cells) for growth (accumulation of cells) for repair for differentiation or specialization of cell type reproduction (single-celled) organisms efficiency of exchange of materials across cell membrane

Yes, cells with a higher surface area-to-volume ratio have a larger surface area relative to their volume, making it more challenging for materials to move efficiently across the cell membrane. This can lead to slower exchange of nutrients and waste compared to cells with a lower ratio.

The circulatory system - capillaries exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide, as well as transport materials into and out of the cell.
