  • The lower half of Mr. Andersen's head explains why cells are small. This video begins with a simple geometry problem and ends with a discussion of Allen's Rule and reasoning for the microscopic nature of cells.

    went from learning why cells are small to how if you live farther from the equator the more spherical you'll look

    The captions saying why cells are small:
    Our cells are small because we want to maximize the surface on the outside. And the reason why, is that we have to get nutrients into the cell, oxygen. We have to get waste products out, like carbon dioxide. And so if we can make ourselves really small then we have a large surface area. And also that oxygen then doesn’t have to defuse so far to get into the cell or carbon dioxide diffuse so far to get out.they can’t be too small or else nothing could fit inside it either

      cells are small because if they're to big they can't get all the things they need and it's to hard to maintain

  • @avi5278

    Your explanation takes the unwarranted assumption that there can't be larger cells with the same surface area ration to a much smaller version of the cell.

    • @feynstein1004
      @feynstein1004 6 лет назад +1

      That's because it's not an unwarranted assumption but a property of 3-D space. As an object's size increases, its volume grows much faster than its surface area, meaning the surface area to volume ratio decreases rapidly. It's called the square-cube law actually. Here's a good video on it:ruclips.net/video/qoM17ikreio/видео.html

    I think you mean the opposite thing. You mean big surface area and small volume, right? You might want to correct that. Anyways a helpful video, as usual!

  • @soft-llama1530

    This kinda works like transistors in a CPU? like 12nm or less is shorter distance for electrons to go through a smaller area... correct me if I'm wrong
