B is better because it has more surface area.
ZanzabumX [31]3 years ago
6 0

The surface area to volume ratio is a critical factor in deciding the ability of a cell to take in the nutrients through a passive transport process like diffusion. When the surface area to volume ratio is high, diffusion becomes the best way to take in the nutrients without the expense of energy. When the surface area to volume ratio is low, the cell requires active processes like presence of specialized transport proteins and cytoskeleton to take in the nutrients. In the two models, model A has a lower surface area to volume ratio (\frac{6 \times a^2}{a^3}) while the model B has a greater surface area to volume ratio (\frac{(6+2) \times a^2}{a^3}, when the two inner surfaces are included). Hence model B will have better movement of nutrients through diffusion than model A.

A.  B is better because it has more surface area.

Archy [21]

Answer:

Efferent/motor neuron

Explanation:

Efferent/ motor neuron synapse with an effector because efferent neuron is a nerve cell such as motor neuron that transmit electrical impulses o r information from the centre nervous system to the effector which then cause or lead to physiological changes or response to the body . The contain majorly of motor neurons or nerve fiber that send signals from the central nervous system(brain /spinal cord) to the effector neuron for changes that occur physically.
