an elephant because the surface is the skin and it's bigger that all of them. the volume is the inside....it is WAY bigger than the mouse or zebra...btw isn't that form sci-triv game? i got all of them right.. :P You are right it is from sci triv. Do you go to trinity academy?

I left the original answer, here is why I believe it is wrong:

The question isn't which has the biggets surface area, or which has the biggest volume, but rather the ratio of SA to Volume. Of course the elephant has the biggest SA as well as the biggest Volume, BUT if you compare SA/Vol, the mouse has the biggest ratio:

Mouse (approximating w/ a 1" radius sphere) = 12.56 sq inches / 4.19 cubic inches = 3

Rat (approximating w/ a 2" radius sphere) = 50.26/33.5 cubic inches = 1.5

Zebra (approximating w/ a 2.5' radius sphere) = 377.00 sq inches / 113,097.24 cubic inches = 0.003

Elephant (approximating w/ a 6' radius sphere) = 904.78 sq inches / 1,563,456.25 cubic inches = 0.0006

This is why mice and rats (and other small animals) are largely nocturnal - they do not have enough volume to not overheat in the hot sun compared to their vast amount of surface area for the sun to strike...

What organic compound is correctly matched with the subunit that compose it?

Proteins are correctly matched with their subunits called amino acids. Each protein is made up of a specific sequence of amino acids, which determine its structure and function. Similarly, carbohydrates are composed of sugar molecules, lipids are made from fatty acids and glycerol, and nucleic acids are formed from nucleotides.


Which molecule is incorrectly matched with its monomer?

To accurately identify an incorrectly matched molecule with its monomer, one must consider common biological macromolecules. For instance, if one cites cellulose, which is a polysaccharide, it is correctly matched with its monomer, glucose. However, if one claims that proteins are made up of nucleotides, this would be incorrect, as proteins are composed of amino acids, not nucleotides.


Which macromolecules are correctly matched with one of their functions?

Proteins are correctly matched with their function of catalyzing biochemical reactions as enzymes. Carbohydrates serve as a primary energy source for cells and play a key role in structural components, such as cellulose in plants. Lipids are involved in long-term energy storage and form essential components of cell membranes. Nucleic acids, like DNA and RNA, are responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information.


Which one of the following is matched correctly like slate rock or asbestos non metallic minerals or coal mineral fuel or diamond metal?

The correctly matched pair is "non-metallic minerals" with "asbestos." Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has non-metallic properties, commonly used in insulation and fireproofing materials. In contrast, slate is a type of metamorphic rock, coal is classified as a mineral fuel, and diamond is a form of carbon that is classified as a non-metal.
