<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>

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Water has properties of cohesion and adhesion.

Explanation:

The single Hydrogen atom and double Oxygen atoms attach to each other in such a way their are minute polar polarity differences.  Electron bonds will combine to form one side of the compound as being positive and the other side positive.  Positive side of other H2O molecules will attach to the negative side.  This bond causes water to adhere to sides of a glass test tube.

Will also create a bead when it drips on another non-porous surface.  Adding soap will break the bead (surfactant).  Water is the perfect solvent.
