Which one of the following is not a good strategy for increasing the surface area of an object relative to the volume?
A)increase the amount of branching
B)increase the amount of folding
C)enlarge and make more spherical
D)make flatter
E)None of these are good strategies.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enlarging and making an object more spherical will decrease its surface area to volume ratio, as a sphere has the smallest surface area to volume ratio of any three-dimensional shape. Therefore, increasing branching (A), folding (B), or making the object flatter (D) would be better strategies for increasing surface area relative to volume. E is also not a good answer since all the other options are valid strategies.
