EXERCISE 2: Surface Area:Volume Relationships Te 1. Pre-lab questions (due at the start of the lab period on a separate sheet of paper) Think back to the BIOL-151 lab where you were introduced to microscopes. What is the formula you used to figure out the diameter of any viewing field once you knew the diameter at a given magnification? (If you do not remember the formula, you will find it in this lab exercise too.) 2 2. If a cell has a large surface area:volume ratio will the movement of molecules in and out of the cell be faster or slower compared to a cell with a smaller surface area:volume ratio? Learning objectives of the lab. 1. This lab will introduce the students to one of the principal types of adaptations-structural adaptations—that influence the fitness of organisms. Specifically, we will explore the concept of surface area and volume relationships and their importance to life. Students will practice calculations of surface area and volume for several basic geometric shapes that can be found in the natural world. These calculations will then be applied to various organisms, which will be examined in this lab. 2. The students will further develop their skills in the use of the microscope, observation, and recording of observations using drawings. Animals are multicellular creatures composed of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems that are subject to the forces of natural selection. The laws of physics also influence every living organism a help determine the shape and size of the organism, and also how it moves. For example, because ro donse than air animals have a harder time moving through water. Thus, aqua
