If a cell's surface area is 6cm cubed and its volume is 1cm cubed then what is its ratio of surface area to volume?
6:1
What happens the surface to volume ratio when the cell becomes larger?
When cells get smaller, the volume (as well as mass) decreases faster than the surface area so the surface:volume increases. Cells with a high surface:volume are more effective in receiving nutrients through diffusion. A cell (assume perfect sphere) with radius 2 has a surface area of 16pi and volume of 32pi/3. A cell with radius 3 has a surface area of 36pi and volume of 108pi/3. Also relatively speaking, volume can be thought of as y=x3 and surface area as y=x2. When there is a change in x, the change is more dramatic in the volume, so small cells have high ratios and large cells have low ratios.
Which statements about the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume is are correct?
Larger cells will have a greater surface area-to-volume.
What ratio influences the size of cells?
Surface area to volume ratio
What is ratio of surface area to volume?
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
What is the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere when the surface area id 588 meters squared an volume of 1372 meters cubed?
3 to 7
What is the surface area to volume ratio?
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
Cells are limited in size by their surface Ares and what else?
Cell size is limited by volume.Surface area to volume ratio (surface area / volume)Nucleo-cytoplasmic ratioFragility of cell membraneMechanical structures necessary to hold the cell together (and the contents of the cell in place)
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.
What happens to a cell ratio of surface area to volume as the cells volume increases more rapidly than its surface are?
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease. However, this scenario is extremely unlikely.
What happens to a cells surface area to volume ratio as it gets smaller?
It increases.
Why in terms of a cells surface area to volume ratio?
It would help to know why what!
