Biology
The surface area-to-volume ratio of cells determines how quickly they can absorb materials. suppose that a space mission to planet zognard-42 uncovers giant cube-shaped single celled organisms living in an oxygen atmosphere. one species of cube-shaped organism is 2 cm on each side. another is 1 cm on each side. about how much faster will the smaller cube organism be able to absorb oxygen? a) 2 times b) 3 times c) 6 times d) they will absorb at the same rate.

Ответ:
species one has a sa of 24 (2*2*6) and a volume of 8 (2*2*2) so I'll make that a ratio of 1:3
species two has a sa of 6 (1*1*6) and a volume of 1 (1*1*1) so I'll make that a ratio of 1:6
2*3=6 so it will absorb oxygen twice as fast

Option , A Smaller species will absorb oxygen 2 times faster than the larger species.
Explanation:
The amount of material absorbed by cells is directly determined by the surface area-to-volume ratio of cells.
A)Species 1 is of cube shape with sides of 2 cm
B)Species 2 is of cube shape with sides of 1 cm
Now we will evaluate the surface area-to-volume ratio for both the species
1) Species 1 -
Volume of a cube is
Surface area of a cube is
surface area-to-volume ratio
Here
surface area-to-volume ratio for species 1 is
1) Species 2 -
Volume of a cube is
Surface area of a cube is
surface area-to-volume ratio
Here
surface area-to-volume ratio for species 1 is
Species 2 (the smaller one) will absorb oxygen 2 times faster than the larger species.
Hence, Option A is correct
