What do the results of the agar blocks indicate about the relationship between cell size and time for materials to reach the center of the cell? Include an explanation of how the surface area-to-volume ratio, diffusion rate, and time for substances to reach the center are related. Support your explanation with data.

There is inverse relationship between cell size and time to reach the center.

Cell size has a inverse relationship with the time that the materials needed to reach the center of the cell because if the cell size increases more time is required for a material to reach to the center of the cell due to more distance between the center and boundary of the cell. The surface area-to-volume ratio, diffusion rate, and time for substances to reach the center are related to each other.

If the surface area to volume ratio is higher than more materials can diffuse across the membrane of the cell but more time is required to reach the center because increase in cell size leads to more distance between center and boundary of the cell so we can conclude that there is inverse relationship between cell size and time to reach the center.
