Chapter 33. BreathingPage 300 If you cut it like a each half will have a surface area of 4(2x1) +2(1x1) = 10cm2. The volume will be 2cm3. The ratio of surface area to volume is 10cm2/2cm3. If you cut it like b each half will have a surface area 2(2x2) + 4(2x0.5) = 12cm2. The volume will be 2cm3. The surface area/volume ratio is 12cm2/2cm3. 2. Judging by the scale, the bacterium is about 0.00125mm wide. The maximum diffusion distance will be half this figure, namely 0.0006mm (approximately). |
