To better understand this question we need to learn about volume X surface
Surface: volume
to explain this question, we need to reflect on the volume x surface
Consider a cube with a side of 1 cm and another with a side of 1000 cm:
Calculate: A) the volume of each cube b) its surface c) the surface/volume ratio
A) Volume (1cm)3= 1cm3 b)The cube has 6 faces, each with an area of 1cm2. So the total surface is 6x1cm2= 6cm2 c) the surface/volume ratio= 6/1 = 6
A) Volume (1000cm)3= 1,000,000,000cm3
b) The cube has 6 faces, each with an area of 1000 000 cm2. So the total surface is 6x1000000cm2 = 6000000cm2
c) the surface/volume ratio= 6000000/1000000000 = 6/1000
CONCLUSION:
- The larger the cube, the smaller the surface/volume ratio. This is because the surface increases by the square, and the volume by the cube.
- This is why the surface-to-volume ratio of the mouse is greater than that of the horse.
THE BIGGER THE SIZE OF THE ORGANISM, THE LOWER IS ITS SURFACE/VOLUME RATIO.
