Answer;

-A surface area/volume ratio of 6:1 means the cell's ability to get materials it needs that move across its surface is very efficient.

-Increased surface area to volume ratio makes diffusion and osmosis much more effective. Cellular concentrations of ions, nutrients, salts, etc can occur much more quickly and efficiently.

Explanation;

-The surface area to volume ratio of a cell is the relationship between two measurements.That is; the ratio of Surface area to volume. It shows the comparison between the size of the outside of a cell and the amount inside. Small or thin cells have a large surface area compared to the volume.

It depends on the unit of the ratio 6:1. If it is in <span>c<span>m<span>−1</span></span></span><span>, then it means that it is similar to a cell of size 1 cm^3,
 which is normally too big to get materials from the surface

What are the functions of leaves? (Select all that apply.) PLEASE ANSWER ASAP AND GET 25 POINTS
Fantom [35]

The main function of a leaf is to produce food for the plant by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their characteristic green colour, absorbs light energy. The internal structure of the leaf is protected by the leaf epidermis, which is continuous with the stem epidermis.

Conifer Leaf.  

Microphyll Leaf.  

Megaphyll Leaf.

A leaf is an above-ground plant organ and it is green. Its main functions are photosynthesis and gas exchange. A leaf is often flat, so it absorbs the most light, and thin, so that the sunlight can get to the chloroplasts in the cells. Most leaves have stomata, which open and close.

The two main functions performed by the leaf are photosynthesis and transpiration. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make their food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.
