18 gru 2016 · Resources for this Standard. Living systems are organized in a hierarchy of structural levels that interact. Explain how subcellular components and organelles contribute to the function of the cell. Describe the structural features of a cell that allow organisms to capture, store, and use energy.
The answer lies in the relationship between a cell’s surface area and its volume. Surface area is the amount of surface an object has. For a cube, the formula for area is (length of a side) 2 x 6. For a sphere, the formula for area is 4 Π r 2. Volume is the amount of space inside something.
Information presented and the examples highlighted in the section support concepts and Learning Objectives outlined in Big Idea 3 of the AP ® Biology Curriculum Framework, as shown in the tables.
