Surface to Volume ratio

Both SA and V increase as the Mnm/animal gets bigger but at diff rates…volume increases quicker

True

surface area to Volume ratio change as it increased in size SA/V

Bc V is increasing more quickly (denominator)

Surface to volume ratio… as the animal gets…

decreases larger

What body processes might require a high surface to volume ratio

any kind of function thats gonna involve an exchange with the env

elephants have low surface to volume ratio. lots of volume muscle and organ volume all producing heat but the relative amount of surface area thru they can dissipate that heat is less.

A mouse has high surface to volume ratio, they are very small and struggle to keep warm as they dissipates a lot of heat.
