In regards to the size of cells, which is most beneficial?
|
|
high surface area to volume ratio
|
|
|
low surface area to volume ratio
|
|
|
no surface area
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Smaller single-celled organisms have a high surface area to volume ratio, which allows them to rely on oxygen and material diffusing into the cell (and wastes diffusing out) in order to survive. The higher the surface area to volume ratio they have, the more effective this process can be.
Detailed explanation-2: -IT IS BEST FOR A CELL TO HAVE A LARGE SURFACE AREA AND A SMALL VOLUME. THEREFORE, A LARGE SURFACE AREA TO VOLUME RATIO IS MORE DESIRABLE.
Detailed explanation-3: -AI Recommended Answer: The human cell with the largest surface area to volume ratio is the liver. The liver has a surface area of about 2, 000 square meters and a volume of about 1, 500 cubic meters. The ratio is about 3.6.
