Question

Transcribed Image Text:Fungi have an extremely high surface-area-to-volume ratio. What is the advantage of this to an
organism that gets most of its nutrition through absorption?
O This high ratio means that fungi have a thick, fleshy structure that allows the fungi to store more of the food it
absorbs.
O The larger surface area allows for more material to be transported through the cell membrane.
O This high ratio creates more room inside the cells for additional organelles involved in absorption.
O The lower volume prevents the cells from drying out too quickly, which can interfere with absorption.
