13. Most cells are small because a larger surface area-to-volume ratio increases the efficiency of processes within the cell. small cells are able to live longer than large cells. a reduced surface area-to-volume ratio increases metabolic rates within the celI. small cells lose less heat to the environment than large cells. it is easier to package small cells within a cell wall.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms.Cells are basically are of two types i.e prokaryotic cell and eukaryotic cell.Prokaryotic cell do not have membrane enclosed nucleus and membrane bound cell organelles; whereas eukaryotic cells have membrane enclosed nucleus and cell organelles.Size of cells are very small; so they are not be  visible to the naked eyes.
