10 Questions
What is the surface-area-to-volume ratio used to explain in science and engineering?
Diffusion of small molecules like oxygen and carbon dioxide
How does the surface-area-to-volume ratio affect the diffusion or heat conduction rate?
Higher SA:V leads to faster diffusion or heat conduction
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
Which processes are governed by the heat equation according to the text?
Diffusion and heat transfer by thermal conduction
What are some examples of biological and biotechnological structures mentioned in the text that are influenced by the surface-area-to-volume ratio?
Artificial bone tissue and artificial lungs
What is the total surface area of a cuboid with length 'l' cm, breadth 'b' cm and height 'h' cm?
$2(lb + bh + hl)$
Which term represents the sum of the areas of six rectangular faces of a cuboid?
Total Surface Area (TSA)
What is the term used to represent the area of the sides of a cylinder or cone?
Lateral Surface Area (LSA)
Which shape is made of six rectangular faces placed at right angles to each other?
Cuboid
What is the classification of surface area for three-dimensional shapes such as cube, cuboid, cone, and cylinder?
All of the above
