<span>The ventricles are the part of the heart that are responsible for the pumping action to move blood throughout the body. Therefore, the muscles in the ventricles are much larger and thicker to do their job properly. The atrium only has to pump blood through an open valve (the tricuspid valve) into the right ventricle. There is much less resistance to this flow of blood so much less muscle is needed. </span>
Smaller cube (1 cm X 1 cm X 1 cm)
<span>The surface area of one side = 1 cm X 1 cm = 1 <span>cm2</span></span>
<span>There are 6 sides, total SA = 6 X 1 <span>cm2</span> = 6 <span>cm2</span></span>
<span>Volume = 1 cm X 1 cm X 1 cm = 1 cubic cm (1 <span>cm3</span>)</span>
<span>Surface to Volume Ratio = 6 <span>cm2</span>/1 <span>cm3</span> = 6 <span>cm2/cm3</span></span>
Larger cube (6 cm X 6 cm X 6 cm)
<span>The surface area of one side = 6 cm X 6 cm = 36 <span>cm2</span></span>
<span>There are 6 sides, the total SA = 6 X 36 <span>cm2</span> = 216 <span>cm2</span></span>
<span>Volume = 6 cm X 6 cm X 6 cm = 216 <span>cm3</span></span>
<span>Surface to Volume Ratio = 216 <span>cm2</span>/216 <span>cm3</span> = 1 <span>cm2/cm3</span></span>

Answer:
The correct answer is: <em>B. blood cells would be in a hypotonic solution, so water would rush into the cell causing it to expand and eventually burst</em>.
Explanation:
Cells have a certain solute concentration that produces an osmotic pressure of aproximately 300 mOsm. For that reason, IVs solutions must have a solute concentration which equals the cell osmotic pressure. That is usually acomplished by using an aqueous solution of NaCl 0.9% w/v or 5% w/v Glucose.
If an IV of pure water is administrated to a person, the blood cells will be in a hypotonic solution. That is, with a concentration lesser than the concentration inside the cells. Due to the difference in concentration, a net flow of water will be produced from the exterior to the cell interior. As the volume of the cell is increased, the cell membrane is damaged and eventually the cell will collapse.
