The volume increases faster. (proportional to the cube of the radius)
The surface area increases slower. (proportional to the square of the radius)

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.
What measurements is larger 4.831 or 4.820?
4.831
Does a cylinder have a larger volume than a torus?
That would depend on the measurements of the cylinder and of the torus.That would depend on the measurements of the cylinder and of the torus.That would depend on the measurements of the cylinder and of the torus.That would depend on the measurements of the cylinder and of the torus.
What surface area is larger baseball or soccer?
A soccer ball has a larger radius than a baseball, so it has more surface area.
Is true that small cells have larger surface area to volume rations than do larger cells?
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
How does the surface area change compared to the volume as a cell gets larger?
Surface area increases as the square of the diameter, whereas the volume increases by the cube.
As a cell becomes larger what happens to its surface area and volume?
The Volume increases faster than the Surface Area
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.
How do you alter the reaction rate of a chemical change?
Heat - increases it Increased stirring - increases it larger surface area - increases it catalyst - usually increases it and the reverse of the above slows the reaction down
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.
How does breaking up solid speeddissolving in liquid?
Breaking up the solid into smaller pieces increases the amount of surface area exposed to the solvent. Because the solvent is acting over a larger surface area, the rate of dissolving increases.
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.
Why does increasing the wingspan increases the duration that a paper plane spends in the air?
The larger the wing-span.... the larger the surface area that the air flows over. The more surface area presented to the air-flow... the longer the plane can stay airborne.
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 are the tiny spheres inside the larger sphere of Volvox?
Daughter colonies
Why a cell grows larger the surface area of the cell increases much more rapidly than the volume of the cell True or false?
true
What affects the luminosity of stars?
There are 2 main factors: the size of the star and its surface temperature. A larger size means a larger surface area to emit light. A higher surface temperature increases the energy emitted. Seen from Earth, the brightness of a star depends on how far away the star is as well as its actual luminosity.
