Hey there!
Your question states: <span> Explain why cells are so small, considering the relationship between surface area and volume for objects of different sizes but similar shapes.
Cell's are small because the size of the other surface area's and also there volume would obviously be bigger than the cell it self. So, they are basically bigger based on that it</span><span> is the most efficient at their </span><span>size. Cell's can not be big and there on some one's hat, that would be very weird. This would be why cell's are the size that they are.</span>
Answer: By Hormonal action and Nervous coordination
Explanation:
Hormones are substances produced by one tissue and conveyed by the bloodstream to another to effect physiological activity. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment in the body.
Body systems such as digestive, circulatory, excretory systems etc, all are coordinated to achieve a STABLE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT by the aid of HORMONES AND/OR NERVOUS COORDINATION.
For Example: the vasodilation of blood vessels during hot weather, and the opposite action of vasoconstriction during cold weather are both controlled by Hormonal action and nervous coordination which leads to a stable body temperature preventing excess heat accumulation.
Also, Nervous system controls the body systems, such that the muscle contractions are joined to actions like sweating, breathing, respiration etc
So, to maintain homeostasis hormonal action and Nervous coordination is necessary.
The transport of water occur faster on a hot day because the molecules move faster in hot water.
