You can't directly compare surface area and volume, since they use different types of units.

Because


Do cubes have the same volume and surface area?

Yes Volume: Is the amount it takes to build it. Surface Area: Is how much is on the surface.

How do circular folds increase the surface area for digestion and absorption in the intestine?

Folds increase the surface area to volume ratio.Imagine a circle with folds all around the edge and another circle the same size with a flat edge. Both circles have the same volume, but the one with the folds has a much larger surface area.

Does the volume of a cell grow more or less rapidly than the surface area?

volume increases faster than the surface area.


What is cell volume?

The volume is how much space is inside the cell. The ratio is the surface area divided by the volume. This indicates how much surface area is available compared to how big the cell is.


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.


What increases the surface area?

This only applies to larger mammals. The cerebral cortex is folded into many gyri (ridges) and sulci (furrows), which has allowed the cortex to expand in surface area without taking up much greater volume.


Why do smaller cells have a greater surface area to volume ratio?

If the cells are spherical, the surface area increases as the square of the radius while the volume increases as the cube of the radius. Therefore, as the cells become larger, their volumes increase much more rapidly than their surface areas. Conversely, as the cells become smaller, their volumes decrease much more rapidly that their areas and so the surface area to volume increase. With non-spherical cells the calculations are much more complex, but the general pattern still applies.


Why are cells microscopic due to volume ratios?

The smaller a cell is, the greater the ration of Surface Area to Volume. As the cell size increases, the ratio of surface area to volume decreases. Volume will increase rapidly while surface area increases slowly. Cells must maintain a balance between surface area and volume because the amount of surface area determines how much food it can take in and how much waste it can remove. The greater the surface area, the longer it can survive.


What increases the cerebrum's surface area?

This only applies to larger mammals. The cerebral cortex is folded into many gyri (ridges) and sulci (furrows), which has allowed the cortex to expand in surface area without taking up much greater volume.
