Statement is true.

The small size of prokaryotic cells affects their physiology, growth rate, and ecology. Due to their small cell size, most prokaryotes have the highest surface area–to–volume ratio of any cells.

Eukaryotic cells are generally much larger and more complex than prokaryotic. The larger a cell, the smaller is its surface-to-volume ratio (the surface area of a cell compared to its volume).
