Which has the greater surface area one large cell or 27 smaller cells?
If the smaller cells' total volume is at least that of the larger cell then the smaller cells have the greater surface area.
These are short hair-like organelles on the surface of a eukaryotic cell used for locomotion or sensory functions?
The correct answer to this is cilia.
How can eukaryotic cell membrane provide higher rate of exchange of materials?
Increase the surface area of the cell.
Does a eukaryotic cell have a Golgi body?
Yes. The golgi body is needed by all cells to package and ship waste to the surface to be excreted.
Why does the Arctic fox have smaller surface area to volume ratio compared with a British fox?
The smaller the surface area, the less body heat the animal will lose. So small surface area to volume ratios are great in cold environments.
Explain why cells have a size limit?
If a cell doubles in diameter, its surface will increase by a factor 4, but its volume by a factor of 8. So, basically, the surface gets smaller and smaller, as compared to its volume. This imposes some limitations. Another way to put it is that some parts of a big supercell will be too far from the surface - so they don't get enough oxygen, for example.
Why is a DVD able to store 4.3GB of data even though it is the size of a normal CD?
Single layer recordable DVD's can store 4.3GB of data. Data is stored on CD's and DVD's via reflective and non reflective pits on the surface of the media. These "dots" are much smaller on DVD's which gives you more room to store information on the surface of the disc. Dual Layer DVDs hold 8.5GB. The pits on a DVD are much smaller and closer together than those on a CD. The new BlueRay disks can pack the pits even closer together because the blue light used to read them has a smaller wavelength and hence is able to resolve smaller details on a disks surface. CDs are read by a red or infrared light which has a much longer wavelength and is not able to resolve smaller pits on a disks surface.
What are short hairlike projections on cell surface that are composed of microtubules?
eukaryotic cells
What are eukaryotic autotrophs that float near the surface of water and are the basis of the food chain?
Phytoplankton
Will a smaller surface speed up a chemical reaction?
No. A smaller surface area will slow down a chemical reaction.
The ways by which a cell avoids surface limitations does not include?
being long and thin
Does a smaller rock a have higher or lower percentage of surface area than a larger rock?
It depends on percentage related to WHAT! You cannot express surface area as a percentage of volume since the dimensions are different. So the only percentage you can have is the suface area of the smaller rock as a percentage of the surface area of the larger rock. In that case, the answer, not surprisingly, is that the smaller rock has the smaller percentage surface area.It depends on percentage related to WHAT!

What are some limitations of geothermal energy?
you have to be in a surtain place were the magma is close to earths surface
Is the surface area of an object be smaller than the volume?
It can be.
