What is the relationship between surface area to volume ratio and the rate of diffusion?
The higher the ratio, the faster the rate of diffusion
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 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.
What is the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere with the following measurements surface area 300m2 volume 500m3?
0.6 is the surface area to volume ratio.
What is ratio of surface area to volume?
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
Would a spherical protist or a cylindrical protist have a higher surface area to volume ratio?
A cylindrical protist has a higher surface are to volume ratio. This is because of the physical properties of spheres (some rather complicated math proves that spheres hold the most volume for their area).
Why do plants grow in a cylindrical shape?
Biggest surface area to volume ratio.
What happens to a cell's ratio of surface area to volume as the volume increases more rapidly than its surface area?
As volume increases surface area increase, but the higher the volume the less surface area in the ratio. For example. A cube 1mmx1mmx1mm has volume of 1mm3 surface area of 6mm2 which is a ration of 1:6 and a cube of 2mmx2mmx2mm has a volume of 8mm3 and surface area of 24mm2 which is a ratio of 1:3.
Which sentence best describes these two models?
They have the same volume, B has more surface area.
How does surface area to volume ratio of a cell affect rate of diffusion?
The surface area to volume ratio of a cell affects the rate of diffusion in that the higher the ratio, the faster the rate of diffusion. This is a directly proportional relationship.
How does the surface area to volume ratio affect osmosis?
The higher the ratio, the faster and more efficient osmosis occurs.
What is the relationship between surface area to volume ratio and the rate of diffusion?
The higher the ratio, the faster the rate of diffusion
Is a higher surface area to volume ratio is more efficient for cellular activity?
Yes
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 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 3 things limit cell size?
DNA, Diffusion, and Surface Area to Volume Ratio.
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
