Urea Is a waste product what does it diffuse out of cells into?
Blood
Why does
urea
diffuses
Urea particles cam pass through
cells membrane
High
concentration
of urea in body cells than in blood
After urea diffuses from blood where does it go?
Travels to
kidneys
then removed in
urine
What substances need to be moved out of organisms?
Water, dissolved food molecules,
mineral ions
Larger objects the smaller it's?
Surface to volume area ratio
Why do single celled organism have large surface to volume ratio
Molecules can
diffuse
and take in all substances they need or get rid of waste products
Multicellular
organism have small
surface area to volume ratio
so they can't rely on
diffusion
have to use
adaptations
Exchange surfaces
are adapted to increase rate of
diffusion
Exchange surface has larger surface area soo
Increase amount of particles that can
diffuse
at same time
Exchange surfaces have thin membrane soo
Gives
molecules
shorter distance to travel
Exchange surfaces have good blood supply and well ventilated soo
Maintained larger
concentration gradient
for fast rate of diffusion
