Why is SA:V an important concept in science and engineering?
Why is SA:V an important concept in science and engineering?
- It determines the weight of an object relative to its size
- It measures the density of an object or collection of objects
- It calculates the total area of an object
- It explains the relation between structure and function in processes occurring through the surface and the volume (correct)
How does SA:V relate to the diffusion of small molecules like oxygen and carbon dioxide?
How does SA:V relate to the diffusion of small molecules like oxygen and carbon dioxide?
- SA:V has no relation to the diffusion of small molecules
- SA:V only affects the diffusion of large molecules
- The larger the SA:V, the faster the diffusion of small molecules (correct)
- The smaller the SA:V, the faster the diffusion of small molecules
