You can't directly compare surface area and volume, since they use different types of units.
Because
This is because volume is cubic, while surface area is squared. As a result, when an object increases in size, its volume increases at a faster rate than its surface area. This phenomenon is why small organisms, with a large surface area relative to their volume, can exchange gases and nutrients more efficiently than larger organisms.
Yes Volume: Is the amount it takes to build it. Surface Area: Is how much is on the surface.
True. As a cell grows larger, its volume increases more quickly than its surface area. This is because volume is determined by the cube of the linear dimension (x^3), while surface area is determined by the square of the linear dimension (x^2). This can lead to issues with nutrient and waste exchange as the cell grows larger.
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.
Alex wants to know how much gift wrap to use to wrap a box. Is that surface,area, volume
The volume of a cell grows more rapidly than its surface area. This is because volume increases with the cube of the cell's size, while surface area increases with the square of the cell's size. This has implications for processes like nutrient exchange, as a larger cell may struggle to adequately supply its interior with nutrients and remove waste.
As a cell increases in size the volume increases much faster than the surface area. The possible answer is C.
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.
2 things: Surface Area and Volume Surface: how much surface area (on the plasma membrane) determines how much nutrients the cell obtains, thus controlling how much the cell can grow. Volume: as the cell grows, the volume increases, and the cell's function stability decreases, thus weakening the cell and hindering the cells growth.
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.
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.
