Using the data from the model, evaluate the hypothesis that cells shaped like rectangular solids 1 and 2 are better suited for slow metabolism and the long‑term storage of energy‑containing molecules than are cells shaped like rectangular solids 4 and 5 .

Respuesta :

Answer:

The cells 1 and 2 have a less surface area contacting the environment per its volume unit which in turn makes them loose energy lower to the environment and is metabolically less active.

Explanation:

Solution

Since cells 1 and 2 have less surface area contacting the environment per unit volume which makes them to loose lower energy to the environment and are therefore less active metabolically.

Thus they are better suited for a long term storage of energy having molecules than cells 4 and 5.
