Why does food coloring penetrate a smaller potato cube faster than it penetrates a larger potato cube?

Biology

Answer: (C) The larger cube has more volume, so the food coloring takes more time to soak in.

Explanation: Since the potato cube was very small, it absorbed the dye faster than the big potato cube because of its small surface area compared to the bigger cube. (PS: I've done a experiment about this topic before)

Answer:

Option D, he smaller cube has more surface area compared to volume, so there are more places for the food coloring to soak in

Explanation:

The surface area is the major key factor that effects absorption of any substance by  other substance.

Here, the surface area to volume ratio of a smaller cube is higher as compared to that of a large area.

Thus, the coloring particles find more area to absorb for a smaller cube than a larger cube and hence food coloring penetrate a smaller potato cube faster than it penetrates a larger potato cube

Thus, option D is correct

How do the hypothesis of microspheres and the RNA World hypothesis build off of each other?
grin007 [14]

Explanation:

Microspheres were spherical bodies with metabolic abilities that could successfully sustain their existence. However they did not contain any genetic material. Which means that they could not replicate or pass off their parts to their successive generations.

But they had no way to evolve since they could not pass off any genetic material to their offspring's. This is why RNA came into existence. RNA enabled an Organism to store its genetic material into nucleic acids, that could be passed on to generations to come. This is also how they could evolve into more complex organisms.
