 A smaller cell has a greater surface area to volume ratio than a larger cell. This means that smaller cells can more rapidly exchange materials with their surroundings because there is so much surface membrane relative to the internal volume. This increases growth rates, meaning that smaller cells generally grow faster than larger cells.
