A protist has a surface area-to-volume ratio of 5:1. A human intestinal cell has a surface area-to-volume ratio of 2:1. Which of the following statements is true?
1) The intestinal cell is more efficient at expelling wastes because it has a high surface area-to-volume ratio.

2)
The protist is more efficient at expelling wastes because it has a higher surface area-to-volume ratio.

3)
The intestinal cell is more efficient at procuring nutrients because it has a lower surface area-to-volume ratio.

4) The protist is more efficient at procuring nutrie
