Nutrient uptake and diffusion of molecules into the bacterial cell become more efficient as the surface area-to-volume ratio

Increases

Explanation:

The relationship between the surface area-to-volume ratio and nutrient uptake and diffusion of molecules into the bacterial cell is direct because increase in one (surface area-to-volume ratio) leads to a corresponding increase in efficiency in the other (nutrient uptake and diffusion of molecules into the cell)

if your own plato the answer is b. the fern transitioned from sporophyte generation to gametophyte generation.

condensation. good luck!
