Does the leaf have a large or small surface area to volume ratio?

the surface area of LEAVES depends.
Pine needles and cacti have small surface areas
banana leaves, philodendron leaves, and other tropical plants have gigantic ones.
it all depends on where the plants are endemic to.

Why is there an advantage to small surface area to large volume ratio?
cause there is
Why are groups of a small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out?
they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
Why are groups of small cells better than one large cell material in and out?
They have a greater surface-to-volume ratio. :)
Cells are limited in size by their surface Ares and what else?
Cell size is limited by volume.Surface area to volume ratio (surface area / volume)Nucleo-cytoplasmic ratioFragility of cell membraneMechanical structures necessary to hold the cell together (and the contents of the cell in place)
Explain why most cells are small?
It has to do with the surface area to volume ratio. The cell interacts with its environment at the cell surface. If a cells volume is too large the surface area isn't sufficient to exchange the necessary oxygen/nutrients/wastes to maintain the functions of a cell.

How will surface area to volume ratios of a small cell compare to those of a large cell?
A small cell will have a larger surface-to-volume ratio.
What organ in the digestive system has an extremely large surface to volume ratio?
the small intestine
How does surface area to volume ratio affects an organism?
If the surface area of the organism is small, then there is no problem with getting all the oxygen needed. If the surface area of the organism is large, therefore a special respiratory surface is needed. An example is lungs, gills. The ratio of surface area to volume in a small organism is greater than the ratio in a large organism.
Why does it take less time for small to wear away than it does for large rocks to wear away?
Small rocks have a larger surface-to-volume ratio , and are therefore more quickly weathered compared to a large rock with a lower surface-to-volume ratio.
Why do larger animals keep their body heat better than smaller animals?
This is because of the surface to volume ratio. A small mammal has a larger surface area, as compared to its volume, than a large mammal does, so a small mammal's surface area to volume ratio is bigger. A large surface to volume ratio causes things to pass into the organism and out of the organism more easily, so a mammal with a large surface to volume ratio (a small mammal) will lose heat more easily in a cold environment than a mammal with a small surface to volume ratio (a large mammal).
