This worksheet is an interactive learning tool designed for GCSE students to explore how surface area to volume ratio affects the rate of diffusion.
It guides students through mathematical calculations to determine the surface area and volume of three different cell shapes: a cube, a sphere and a cylinder, and asks them to deduce the surface area to volume ratio for each.
The resource aims to deepen understanding of how dimensions impact diffusion rates, which is important in biological processes like respiration.
An answer sheet is provided for immediate feedback, making it ideal for classroom activities, homework assignments or independent study.
