Questions and Answers

What does the surface-area-to-volume ratio (SA:V) explain in processes governed by the heat equation?

  • Mechanical heat transfer
  • Convection and radiation heat transfer
  • Electromagnetic heat transfer
  • Diffusion and heat transfer by thermal conduction (correct)

    • How does the SA:V ratio affect the diffusion or heat conduction rate?

  • SA:V has no effect on diffusion or heat conduction
  • The shape of the object determines the diffusion or heat conduction rate
  • The larger the SA:V, the faster the diffusion or heat conduction (correct)
  • The smaller the SA:V, the faster the diffusion or heat conduction

    • What biological process is influenced by the surface-area-to-volume ratio?

  • Water loss by animals (correct)
  • Digestion in humans
  • Reproduction in mammals
  • Photosynthesis in plants
