Document Summary
Biological surfaces are critical for organismal function examples plasma embrace, skin, leaf surface. Surface area: volume ratio- the unsexiest thing in science the amount of surface area relative to volume or body size determines how much stuff can be exchanged between a cell/organism and the cell environment. As a cell ( or organism) gets bigger it"s volume (or mass) increases more rapidly than its surface area. Surface area 6 x 1mm = 6mm2. Many surfaces are highly folded- or very large- to increase surface area. What is the slope of this line? b=0. 67 but wrong, actually b=0. 75: relationship of bmr.
