The bigger surface area to volume, the quicker it will lose heat, as it has a bigger surface where the heat can rise and travel out from. If the volume is the same but the surface area is smaller, heat will stay in for longer as there is only a small area for the heat to escape from, meaning it has to go little by little.

How does the shape surface area and volume affect how fast magma cools?

The shape affects the ratio of surface area to volume. The greater the surface are to volume ratio, the faster the magma will cool.


How does surface area to volume ratio of a cell affect rate of diffusion?

The surface area to volume ratio of a cell affects the rate of diffusion in that the higher the ratio, the faster the rate of diffusion. This is a directly proportional relationship.


How can you obtain a cell's ratio of surface area to volume?

To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.


How does surface to volume ratio affects heat loss?

The surface-to-volume ratio is a mathematical relationship between the volume of an object and the amount of surface area it has. This ratio often plays an important role in biological structures. An increase in the radius will increase the surface area by a power of two, but increase the volume by a power of three.


How do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?

The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.


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.


How can you find a cell's survace area to volume ratio?

to obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.


What happens to a cell's ratio of surface area to volume as the volume increases more rapidly than its surface area?

As volume increases surface area increase, but the higher the volume the less surface area in the ratio. For example. A cube 1mmx1mmx1mm has volume of 1mm3 surface area of 6mm2 which is a ration of 1:6 and a cube of 2mmx2mmx2mm has a volume of 8mm3 and surface area of 24mm2 which is a ratio of 1:3.


What is ratio of surface area to volume?

surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
