How does the surface-area-to-volume ratio affect the diffusion or heat conduction rate?
How does the surface-area-to-volume ratio affect the diffusion or heat conduction rate?
- SA:V is only relevant for biological structures
- Lower SA:V leads to faster diffusion or heat conduction
- Higher SA:V leads to faster diffusion or heat conduction (correct)
- SA:V has no impact on diffusion or heat conduction rate
What does a small size imply in terms of surface area to volume ratio?
What does a small size imply in terms of surface area to volume ratio?
- Small size implies a large ratio of surface area to volume, maximizing nutrient uptake (correct)
- Small size implies a small ratio of surface area to volume, minimizing nutrient uptake
- Small size implies a balanced ratio of surface area to volume
- Small size implies no impact on nutrient uptake
