What is the co-relationship between activeness of organism and complexity of transport system? |
|
Answer» 1. As the size of an organism increases, its surface area to volume ratio decreases. This means it has relatively less surface area available for substances to diffuse through. 2. Large multicellular organisms therefore cannot rely on diffusion alone to supply their cells with Substances such as food and oxygen and to remove waste products. Large multicellular organisms require specialized transport system. 3. In short for the organisms to become active, they must be having complex transport system to bring about their vital functions rapidly. |
