The Effect of Cell Size on Material Transport Lab. If you know, can you help!

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Mind telling a bit more... the "Transport Lab" i find a bit confusing.

OpenStudy (majacw):

its a lab that im having trouble with for my Bio class...it would take 4ever to write it all down so i'm hoping to find someone who knows what i'm talkin about,sorry to confuse ya!

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Alright. Now I am not in your bio class so it is hard to tell what you are sepose to know so this might be to easy or to advanced: In cells the surface-area-to-volume ratio is very important for material transport. The general reason of this importance is reactivity. The reactivity incresse when the surface-area-to-volume incresse. a thermodynamicaly explanation/view on this is, that we say that the a high surface-area-to-volume ratio provides a strong driving froce that minimize the free energy og the system and therefore speed up the process of material transport. Another thing about the Increased surface area is that it also can lead to biological problems like respriation (if this is of interest (the above topic) let me know and I elaborate)

OpenStudy (majacw):

Thats not what I wanted to know but thk u for it and yes will you please elaborate more for me, I actually understood it!
