Urban areas are crowded places with many apartments, offices, restaurants, parking lots and shopping centers. Comparing the amount of dirt, wastages and pollutants that are released into streams and lakes by each of these sources, we can conclude that the construction of a shopping mall or parking lot contributes a lot to the addition of the wastage into the streams and lakes

A shopping mall and parking lot in itself occupies a lot of space hindering the air balance and also increasing the traffic in the area and the adjacent areas leading to this area. On the other hand , this construction accommodates hundreds of shops that discards bulks of packaging materials in the form of plastic covers, fabric, card boards and other wastages which will have to be dumped every day.

Apart from this, urban areas have major part of the land covered with roofs and roads thus making all the rain water flow into the sewer and drainages washing out chemical wastes, pet wastes and other garbages into the streams and lakes.

What is cell surface to volume ratio and why is it important in cell functioning? Can it explain why cells are so small?
MrMuchimi
<span>The main reason surface area to volume ratio is important to a cell is because the surface area to volume ratio determines the rate at which cells uptake nutrients, liquids or gases. For instance, I have two organisms, A and B. Organism A has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1, whereas organism B has a surface area to volume ratio of 3:1. As organism A has a greater surface area to volume ratio, it means that organism A will be able to take up nutrients, liquids or gases via diffusion or osmosis at a greater rate than organism B, as it has more surface with which to exchange nutrients, liquids or gases. </span>
