Hello students, in this question we are asked for which has more skin, an elephant or a mouse? the second one is which has more skin per unit of body weight, an elephant or mouse? so we know that when the thing is bigger, when the size is bigger, then surface area will be more.
00:44
When the size is smaller, surface to volume ratio will be more.
00:58
So when the size is bigger, the surface area is more.
01:06
So for elephant, the size is bigger.
01:09
Therefore more skin is required to cover the whole body.
01:14
Therefore in this case, the elephant is the right one.
01:18
The elephant has more skin.
01:24
But when we go for the skin per unit of body weight, mouse stands first because when the size is smaller, then its surface to volume ratio will be more...
