Yes.
Its surface area and volume.
The surface area to volume ratio decreases - assuming the shape remains similar.
A cell's volume is the amount of material that can fit into the cell. A cell's surface area is the total amount of material that makes up the outside of the cell. The ratio of surface area to volume is the amount of surface area per unit volume of an object or collection of objects.
Look in the book broseff.
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
The shape of a cell will affect its surface area. The surface area of a cell dictates how much interaction the cell will have with its environment. Cells with high surface area are usually cells that require a lot of interaction with their environment. A cilliated cell in the lung is used to transfer oxygen in/out of the body.
The red blood cell's biconcave shape increases its surface area for diffusion. The lack of a nucleus makes this shape possible.
Because to get in and out you have to cross the cell's surface and if it has a bigger area more can happen than with a smaller area. To increase the surface area volume ratio, the cell can reduce in size or change its shape.
Its surface area and volume.
The flatter the cell, the surface-area will increase, however the volume will remain the same
The surface area to volume ratio decreases - assuming the shape remains similar.

The shape of the plant cell relates to its function directly. For instance, the epithelium has a large surface area due to its function of absorption.
the cell's ability to feed enough
If the cell has a simple geometric shape, there are formulae that can be used. Otherwise you need to measure the surface area and the volume.
A living cell is not a simple geometric shape like a sphere or a cube. What sort of weird cell shape might increase the ratio of surface area to volume Would you be able to test this more complex shape?
It increases the surface area of the cell to make exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide faster and easier
