For example, the amount of nutrients a cell can absorb are proportional to its surface area.
All chemical reactions take place on surfaces = so very important
so it can get more sun
It is not always the case. If you are out in the cold with insufficient clothing, the important thing - to prevent hypothermia - is to MINIMISE the surface to volume ratio.
Fungi make their food via absorption, and a large surface area makes nutrient absorption extremely efficient.
Simply put, larger surface area allows for more digestive process to occur.
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
The surface area of a cell is defined as the total area encompassing the perimeter of the outer cell layer. The surface area of a cell is an important part of the Surface Area to Volume Ratio in terms of the effect it has on molecules that are entering or exit the cell.
For example, the amount of nutrients a cell can absorb are proportional to its surface area.
Surface area affects several things, such as how quickly an object cools down; the rate of chemical reactions will also depend on the exposed area.
You can't absorb that which doesn't make contact with the surface.
Because it increases the surface area available for transfer of materials.
surface area
because the surface area does not grow as fast as the organellles
Asia is the largest continent in the world in terms of population and surface area. The total surface area is 17.21 million square miles.
Some practical real world examples why surface area is important:If you want to paint a house, you need to know the surface area to determine how much paint to buy.If you want to plant grass on a dirt lot, you need to know the surface area to determine how much grass seat to use.If you want to sew a dress, you need to know the surface area of the dress (dress size) to know how much material you need.If you want to make money mowing lawns, you need to know the surface area of the lawn to know how much to charge for the work.If you want to put carpet in a living room, you need to know the surface area of the room to know how much carpet you will need.If you are making a label for a soup can company, you will need to know the surface area of the can.
