What is the relationship between the surface area to volume ratio of a cell and its size?
The larger the surface area to volume ratio of a cell, the smaller its size (and vice versa).
Is the surface-area-to-volume ratio of a small cell less than that of a larger cell?
As a cell becomes larger the surface area to volume ratio gets smaller. The volume increases by the square of the surface area. That is the main reason that one celled organisms are small.
How can you obtain a cell's ratio of surface area to volume?
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
What is the advantage to having a larger surface area to volume ratio?
To nutrient-poor environments..
How can you find a cell's survace area to volume ratio?
to obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
As the cell grows larger the ratio of surface area to volume increases. Larger cell = more volume for the amount surface area.
What happens to the surface area to volume ratio when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane?
The surface area to volume ratio will increase
Which statements about the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume is are correct?
Larger cells will have a greater surface area-to-volume.
How does cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
because it has the surface area of volume
Describe what happens to the surface area to volume ratio for larger and larger cubes?
For a cube with edge length, L. Surface area = 6L2. Volume = L3. So ratio of Surface Area / Volume = 6 / L. Therefore, as the side length, L, increases, the ratio will decrease.
What is the relationship between the surface area to volume ratio of a cell and its size?
The larger the surface area to volume ratio of a cell, the smaller its size (and vice versa).
Is the surface-area-to-volume ratio of a small cell less than that of a larger cell?
As a cell becomes larger the surface area to volume ratio gets smaller. The volume increases by the square of the surface area. That is the main reason that one celled organisms are small.
How can you obtain a cell's ratio of surface area to volume?
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
How do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?
The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.
How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grews large?
It will decrease. In a larger cell, you have less surface area per volume.
What is the advantage to having a larger surface area to volume ratio?
To nutrient-poor environments..
How does the surface area to volume ratio change as the cell size increases?
It decreases. As the dimensions increase by a number, the surface area increases by the same number to the power of 2, but the volume increases by the same number to the power of 3, meaning that the volume increases faster than the surface area.
