Why larger organisms need transport systems

Why larger organisms need transport systems

Diffusion is the net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, down a concentration gradient. Tiny unicellular organisms such as Amoeba can rely on it because their surface area to volume ratio is large and the diffusion distance to the centre is short.
