Surface Area to Volume Ratio Flashcards
(3 cards)
1
Q
Why is a cell small
A
to increase its diffusion rate of nutrients
- This allows it to be supplied with iitsrequirements quickly and efficiently
2
Q
why do we use SA: V ratio
A
It is what cells use to help them have fast diffusion
3
Q
To calculate the ratio : (if a cell was a cube)
A
Surface Area = 6 X L X W
Volume = L X W X H
