In a comparative study of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, researchers measure the surface area-to-volume ratios and compare the efficiency of nutrient uptake. They find that smaller prokaryotic cells have higher uptake rates per unit volume than larger eukaryotic cells, even when both cell types are placed in identical nutrient solutions. However, when they examine the total amount of nutrients processed per cell, the eukaryotic cells show higher values. What factor most likely explains both observations?
