Why can humans not rely on the transport method used in small organisms

Biology
1 answer:
iragen [17]4 years ago
8 0
This is because human have a much larger surface area. Small organisms have a small surface area and thus simple diffusion meets their transport requirements. As the size of the organisms increases, its surface area to volume ratio decreases. This means it would take days for molecules to diffuse through a large animal, so humans have a circulatory system with a pump to transport materials quickly around their bodies. Therefore due to their large size, humans require a specialized transport system.

Why does an octopus or squid use its tentacles?
spin [16.1K]
Octopus and squid have little suction cups on their tentacles. It helps with sticking onto food (so it doesn't get away) and also helps with sticking into things. If it wanted to camouflage into some rocks, it can use its tentacles to cling to to the rock.

Tentacles can also grab and carry things. Scientists have made tests where they would put a clam in a jar with the lid screwed on. The octopus would grab onto the jar and use its tentacles to twist the lid off.

Without tentacles, octopuses and squids would be pretty helpless and probably couldn't survive in the deep ocean.
