To have the greatest surface area to volume ratio, it would be best to flatten the clay and create numerous projections.

  • The quantity of surface area per unit volume of an object or collection of objects is known as the surface-area-to-volume ratio (also known as the surface-to-volume ratio or abbreviated as SA:V).
  • A cell's volume increases proportionately more than its surface area as its size decreases.
  • As a result, the surface area to volume ratio is higher for smaller objects.
  • For cells, a high surface area to volume ratio is crucial.
  • There is more plasma membrane compared to the interior of the cell when surface area exceeds volume.
  • This makes it feasible for materials to be moved into, out of, and around the cell as effectively as possible.

The fact that a surface area must be sufficient to hold the volume helps to explain why most cells are tiny in size.

What causes hyponatremia?
baherus [9]

<u>Excessive drinking of water</u> causes hyponatremia.

Hyponatremia is an elementary medical condition that is caused by drinking excessive water. If the concentration of sodium falls below 136 mEq/L, this results in hyponatremia.

Drinking too much water dilutes the sodium in the human body and this results in a high level of water in the body. When the water level rises, cells become enlarged and swollen.

The swelling cells can have harmful impacts on your health by exerting pressure and damaging cell membranes.

Other common causes include diarrhea, liver disease, renal disease, and heart failure. This condition can be cured by taking an IV sodium fluid to raise the degree of sodium.

The differences will be in:

Magnification (how zoomed-in things can be seen).

Colour (depending on the quality of the microscope colours can be seen more realistic or not).

Resolution (images can be viewed with more detail and clarity depending on the microscope).

Hope it helped,
