The table gives the surface area of three similar cells. Which cell is best adapted for absorbing water and ions?

Answer Details

Absorbing water and ions is faster with a larger surface area. Cell C has the greatest surface area (48 units) compared with A (10) and B (14), so cell C is best adapted for absorption, like a root hair cell with its long projection. The larger the surface area, the more efficient the uptake.
