Compare 2 shapes. which would be more efficient if nutrients were being exchanged through them?

This is a question of the ration surface-volume. It is more efficient a shape that has more surface than volume

Explanation:

Imagine the shape of a mouse and an elephant in a cold environment. Who will lose heat faster? The answer is the mouse, for its volume (which is small compared to the elephant), the surface for which it can lose heat is very large. In contrast, the surface for which the elephant can lose heat is very small for its volume.

The same happens with nutrients if you have a great volume and a small surface is more difficult to exchange them.

silt loam

hope this

weathering - colorado river carves land in arizona to form the grand canyon. cracks form in a sandstone wall surrounding a house. a marble statue near the science museum is changing color due to rainfall

erosion - after a rainstorm, soil and rock piees litter the roadways. the sand dunes in the sahara desert are changing shape.

here's your answer.
