Answer:

Yes, there is a relation between the size of a cell and it's function.

Explanation:

  • Cell generally remain small in size so that these have larger surface area.
  • For example, lets imagine a cube with each of its sides measuring 2mm. The total surface area of this cube will be 2mm X 2mm X 6 = 24 sq.mm.
  • Suppose we cut this cube into 8 small cubes, reducing each side to half of its length.
  • Then the total surface area of these 8 cubes will be 1mmX1mmX 6(surfaces) X 8 = 48 sq. mm.
  • This is double than that of the larger cube, but the volume of both the cube remains same.
  • This larger surface area relative to volume of the cell ensures greater diffusion of substances and thus enhances cell functioning.
