Which 2 things must be compared to explain why almost all cells are small?

The surface area to volume ratio of cells must be compared to explain why almost all cells are small. As cells grow larger, their volume increases faster than their surface area, leading to inefficiencies in nutrient and waste exchange. Smaller cells have a higher surface area to volume ratio, allowing for more efficient cellular processes.
