Question
Answer
What is surface area to volume ratio?   show
🗑
show 1. Size 2. SA:Vol ratio 3. Level of activity  
🗑
Why do many multicellular organisms require specialised exchange surfaces.   show
🗑
Describe the SA:Vol ratio of small organisms   show
🗑
show Small SA:Vol ratio  
🗑
show It limits the overall size of the organism. Most large organisms need a range of tissues for support and strength this increases the thickness and therefore the volume of their bodies.  
🗑
show 4 pie r squared  
🗑
show 4/3 pie r cubed  
🗑
show More oxygen and nutrients are required for energy release in aerobic respiration.  
🗑
Root hairs in a plant are an example of which feature of a good exchange system?   show
🗑
show They are thin and permeable providing a short diffusion pathway for efficient exchange. Alveoli walls are 1 cell thick providing a barrier of only 0.3 micrometers between blood and air.  
🗑
show It maintains a steep concentration gradient so that diffusion occurs rapidly. Eg. gills in fish.  
🗑
