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

<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>

Vanyuwa [196]
The type of learning that the young sea otter used to be able to perform this task is social learning.
This means that the young otter learned what it is supposed to do from its surroundings - and what is surrounding it is its society of other otters. It is social learning because the otter didn't learn on its own that it needs to break open shells in order to eat what is inside, but rather it saw what the other otters were doing and thus learned it.

vredina [299]

Answer:

B) All DNA molecules will migrate up the gel toward the positive electrode.

Explanation:

Because the DNA has a negative charge - regardless the size-, all DNA molecules will migrate towards the positive electrode, at the top of the gel. This is due to the Coulomb's physic law  "force of the interaction between the charges is attractive if the charges have opposite signs".

Instead of migrate down the gel , the DNA will do migrate up the gel (opposite direction).
