    does varying the surface area to volume ratio (2.0046: 1‚ 1.4923: 1‚ 0.9425: 1‚ 0.6480:1‚ 0.5970:1) affect the amount of heat lost over a period of 6 minutes of 50cm3 water with a temperature above 50? b. Prediction and Hypothesis. Make a prediction about what you expect to be the outcome. Explain your prediction using scientific ideas. I predict that the bigger the surface area to volume ratio‚ the lesser the heat will be lost. And the smaller the surface area to volume ratio the more heat

    Surface Area to Volume Ratio and the Relation to the Rate of Diffusion Aim and Background This is an experiment to examine how the Surface Area / Volume Ratio affects the rate of diffusion and how this relates to the size and shape of living organisms. The surface area to volume ratio in living organisms is very important. Nutrients and oxygen need to diffuse through the cell membrane and into the cells. Most cells are no longer than 1mm in diameter because small cells enable nutrients and oxygen

    [Type text] [Type text] [Type text] _An experiment on the effect of surface area to volume ratio on the rate of osmosis of Solanum tuberosum L._ BACKGROUND A cell needs to perform diffusion in order to survive. Substances‚ including water‚ ions‚ and molecules that are required for cellular activities‚ can enter and leave cells by a passive process such as diffusion. Diffusion is random movement of molecules in a net direction from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration

    diffuse into different cells in order to help provide the necessary energy needed for these reactions to happen‚ at the same time‚ the waste products produced after these reactions have taken place have to be removed and excreted. As the organism increases in size through growth‚ more chemical activity will have to happen and the rate of metabolism will also increase‚ which means that more substances have to be taken in and to also be removed. This is where the surface area to volume ratio comes into place;
