Why do leaves have a large surface area?
Leaves are broad, thin and flat to provide a large surface area, to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. :)
What are the characteristics of respiratory surface?
large area
What organelle has a large amount of surface area?
The Alveoli
How does surface area to volume ratio affects an organism?
If the surface area of the organism is small, then there is no problem with getting all the oxygen needed. If the surface area of the organism is large, therefore a special respiratory surface is needed. An example is lungs, gills. The ratio of surface area to volume in a small organism is greater than the ratio in a large organism.
Why is a catalyst spread over a large surface area?
So it is more efficient.
What provides a large surface area for gas exchange?
Your lungs provide a very large surface area for gas exchange.
Do stilts have a large surface area?
No
Why does a small pin sink wheras a large boat does not?
Because a pin has a small surface area and a boat has a large surface area.

What are the characteristics of respiratory surface?
large area
What stars are cool and bright stars?
To be bright you need to be hot, close or have a large surface area. The brightest coolest stars are red super giants. They have such a large surface area, that even though their surface temperature is cool - in star terms - their large surface area makes them appear bright.
Why do radiators have a large surface area?
Radiators have a large surface area to increase heat transfer efficiency. The greater surface area allows for more contact between the hot water or steam inside the radiator and the surrounding air, resulting in more effective heat dissipation into the room.
Are roots adapted to take in water because they have a small surface area?
No.Plant roots have large surface area,roots have root hairs to increase the surface area so that large amounts of water can be absorbed easily.
Why is it important that the gills of a crayfish give them a large surface area?
It is important that the gills of a crayfish give them a large surface area because it helps the crayfish to breathe. The bigger the surface area, the more oxygen in the crayfishes system.Ê
What forms the Large surface area of the small intestine?
The large surface area of the small intestine is formed by the presence of villi and microvilli. Villi are finger-like protrusions lining the intestinal wall, while microvilli are further microscopic projections on the surface of the villi. This structural arrangement maximizes the absorption of nutrients from digested food.
What form the large surface area of the small intestine?
The villi on the inner surface.
What do alveoli have that enables them to absorb a large amount of oxygen?
A large surface area
