01 · How to explore

Make the idea your own

  1. 1Read the inputs and predict what will change.
  2. 2Change one parameter while keeping the other fixed.
  3. 3Explain the result using the diagram and the live values.
02 · Take it further

Notice the pattern

This geometric model helps explain why small cells have more surface per unit volume.
