Very thin foil. It can be large in 2D as pool foil, or rolled-up to 3D space like in the AA cell or electrolytic capacitor. A pasta shapes are also good example, how to have minimal volume and maximal surface to get it boiled quickly.

What is the ratio of rods and cones in an owl?
There are about 120 million rod cells compaired to 6 million cone cells, for a ratio of about 20 rods for each cone.
In any given mm3 of blood what is the approximate ratio of number of red blood cells to white blood cells?
The approximate ratio of red blood cells to white blood cells in blood is about 600:1. This means there are about 600 red blood cells for every one white blood cell in a given volume of blood.
How do plant cells combat the surface-area -to-volume ratio problem?
cell division
Is it better for cells to have larger or smaller surface area to volume ratio?
Cells with a larger surface area to volume ratio are better because they can more efficiently exchange nutrients and wastes with their environment. This allows for faster and more effective communication and metabolic processes within the cell.
Cells with a higher surface area-to-volume ratio have a harder time with the exchange of material into and out of the cell?
Yes, cells with a higher surface area-to-volume ratio have a larger surface area relative to their volume, making it more challenging for materials to move efficiently across the cell membrane. This can lead to slower exchange of nutrients and waste compared to cells with a lower ratio.
