[tex]The following models show one large cell (A) and four small cells (B) Which of the following states[/tex]
A.) B is better because it has more surface area.
B is better because it has more surface area.
option C
Explanation:
B
Explanation:
More surface area
B is better because it has more surface area.
Explanation:
D). B has smaller cells but more surface area than A.
Explanation:
The movement of nutrients in the cells of model B would be better as compared to the cell of model A and the key reason is that 'model B has more surface area than A despite having smaller cells.' As we know, the surface area of the cell plays a vital role in determining its efficacy in transporting the nutrients through indirect processes like diffusion as it helps in transporting the nutrients without using energy. But if the surface area is less, the flow of nutrients require more direct and active which may consume energy. Since, model B has more surface area, it will transport effectively. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
answer:
b is better becouse
explanation:
The surface area to volume ratio is a critical factor in deciding the ability of a cell to take in the nutrients through a passive transport process like diffusion. When the surface area to volume ratio is high, diffusion becomes the best way to take in the nutrients without the expense of energy. When the surface area to volume ratio is low, the cell requires active processes like presence of specialized transport proteins and cytoskeleton to take in the nutrients. In the two models, model A has a lower surface area to volume ratio ([tex]\frac{6 \times a^2}{a^3}[/tex]) while the model B has a greater surface area to volume ratio ([tex]\frac{(6+2) \times a^2}{a^3}[/tex], when the two inner surfaces are included). Hence model B will have better movement of nutrients through diffusion than model A.
A. B is better because it has more surface area.
The question is incomplete and the diagram is also not given. So the diagram is attached below and the complete question is as follows:
The following models show one large cell (A) and four small cells (B).
Which of the following states why one of the models is better for moving more nutrients in and out of the cell?
A. B is better because it has more surface area.
B. A is better because it has less surface area.
C. A is better because it has more volume.
D. B is better because it has more volume
A. B is better because it has more surface area.
Explanation:
The movement of nutrients in a cell depends on the surface to volume ratio. More is the surface to volume ratio, better will be the movement of nutrients in and out of the cell.
In the given model, small cells (B) has more surface to volume ratio as surface area of B is larger, so, the model B is better for moving more nutrients in and out of the cell.
Hence, the correct option is "A".
