Red Blood Cells
Cells that transport oxygen through the bloodstream and do not contain a nucleus
Volume
The amount of space inside an object. Measured in (units of length) (i.e mm, cm, m)
Surface Area
The sum of the area of all exposed sides of a three-dimensional shape. Measured in (units of length) (i.e mm, cm, m)
Ratio
A comparison between two things to show proportions
Surface Area : Volume Ratio (SA:V)
A comparison of the amount of surface area per unit of volume. In biology, SA:V influences temperature regulation, and a high SA:V leads to more effective transport into and out of cells
