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.
Why is the surface of the placenta covered in villi?
The villi on the surface of the placenta increase the surface area available for nutrient and gas exchange between the mother and fetus through the blood vessels. This increased surface area helps ensure efficient transfer of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus and removes waste products from the fetal circulation.
How are nutrients absorbed by the fetus?
The nutrients are absorbed through the placenta by the foetus. The foetus gets the oxygen and nutrition from the mother. The blood of the mother and foetus comes very close to each other in the placenta. Both are not mixed up. They are separated by very thin membrane. The surface area of the contact is very large as compared to the size of placenta.
What orgon serves as a respiratory digestive organ for the fetus?
You have the organ called as placenta. The foetus gets the oxygen and nutrition from the mother. The blood of the mother and foetus comes very close to each other in the placenta. Both are not mixed up. They are separated by very thin membrane. The surface area of the contact is very large as compared to the size of placenta.
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.
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. :)
Name one organ in your body which has a large surface area?
The skin is an organ in the body that has a large surface area as it covers the entire external surface of the body.
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.
