Document Summary

When you"re larger than a zygote in the uterus, the mother"s blood is used to deliver oxygen: diffusion alone is too slow to maintain the rates of gas exchange needed to support the metabolism of larger organisms, whale (large): small surface area compared to volume (cid:224) harder to deliver oxygen to mitochondria via diffusion, rotifer (small): larger surface area compared to volume, diffusion is fast when things are small (cid:224) when the radius of a small mammalian cell is 10 micrometers.
