As the radius of a sphere gets larger which of the spheres measurements increases more the surface area or the volume?
The volume increases faster. (proportional to the cube of the radius)The surface area increases slower. (proportional to the square of the radius)
What is the relationship between the surface area and the volume of a cell as one increases or decreases so does the other?
Remember that as the diameter of a spherical cell increases, the surface area increases as the square of the diameter, and the volume increases as the cube of the diameter, so volume increases much faster than surface area. The same principle applies for other shapes than spherical cells, but the math is more complicated.
Which cell has the greater surface area compared to its volume the large cell or one of the smaller cells?
A smaller cell has a higher surface area to volume ratio. A reason for this is volume is cubic (3D) and surface area is 2D so when surface area increases a little bit, the volume increases exponentially. And when the surface area shrinks a little bit, the volume decreases exponentially.
When cell size increases the surface area to volume ratio does what?
decreases i believe(:
What happens to a cells surface area to volume ratio as it gets smaller?
It increases.
As a cell increases in size the a. metabolic rate increases. b. surface area to volume ratio increases. c. volume increases and the surface area increases. d. surface area increases and the volume d?
As a cell increases in size the volume increases much faster than the surface area. The possible answer is C.
As a cell becomes larger what happens to its surface area and volume?
The Volume increases faster than the Surface Area
As the length of a cell increases its volume increases faster than its?
Surface area.
Is as cell surface area increases cell volume increases faster true?
Yes
Does the volume of a cell grow more or less rapidly than the surface area?
volume increases faster than the surface area.
As the radius of a sphere gets larger which of the spheres measurements increases more the surface area or the volume?
The volume increases faster. (proportional to the cube of the radius)The surface area increases slower. (proportional to the square of the radius)
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.
A cell's volume grows faster than its surface area so if cell gets too large what would happen?
If the cell's surface-to-volume ratio got too small as a result of the volume increasing faster than the surface area, the cell would no tbe able to get the nutrients it needs to survive and would die.
What happens to a cells surface as a volume ratio as a cell gets bigger?
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.
What is the relationship between the surface area and the volume of a cell as one increases or decreases so does the other?

The same principle applies for other shapes than spherical cells, but the math is more complicated.
What happens to a cell ratio of surface area to volume as the cells volume increases rapidly than its surface area?
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease if its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area.
If the volume of a cell increases its surface area will?
it increases
