What is cell surface to volume ratio and why is it important in cell functioning? Can it explain why cells are so small?

Biology

MrMuchimi3 years ago

<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>

Why are old growth forests considered “healthy” ecosystems?
IRISSAK [1]
Firstly, we need to know what a healthy ecosystem is. When an ecosystem is healthy, this would mean that it could supply all the resources that all organisms present in it and with all the resources, there is diversity. Old growth forests are considered healthy because of this reason. These forests remain untouched and had remained in providing the resources needed for the organisms present in it.
