Typical bacterial cells are 5mall to have a high surface area to volume ratio that maintains efficient absorption of nutrients for grawth. A group of biologists discovered a new species of bacteria with cells that are 1,000 times the mass of E. coll, but still has a high surface area to volume ratio. How could this "giant' bacteria have a high surface to volume ratio? The cell has a culic thape with no cell wath The cenhss an oblone shape with multiple nusmik. The cef is goberthaped with a smali vaciale-libe struction The cell is flat and as thin as E, coli.
