The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger and as volume increases, surface area to volume ratio decreases. The larger a cell, the less easily it can get rid of waste and it also has more trouble getting water, nutrients and gases in. That is why we do not see giant cells. Instead we see multiple cells in larger organisms.
One way to increase surface area is to flatten the cell. That is why red blood cells are flat discs, instead of spheres. Another way is elongation. That is why many bacteria are rod shaped, and why neurons are elongated. In fact, the human body relies on the same principle to adapt to climate. Long tall and lean folks with long arms and legs live in East Africa, because such shapes increase surface area to get rid of excess body heat to avoid heat strokes. Europeans and Asians adapted to cold climates, in contrast, have shorter arms and legs and rounder torsos to minimize surface area. to conserve body heat.
C. They study true movement of earthquake waves
Answer:
The correct answer will be- Keystone species
Explanation:
The structure of a community is largely determined by the number of species present in the community called species richness and the species diversity.
The species which can play an important role in determining the community could be of two types the foundation species and keystone species.
The species which directly influence the diversity of a community irrespective of their number and abundance is known as the keystone species.
In the given question since the question has discussed the species which disproportionately influence the diversity of the community is known as keystone species.
Thus, keystone species is the correct answer.
