no; surface area applies to the square unit of measurement of a 2-dimensional surface, such as one face of a box (length and width). Volume is a 3-dimensional representation that takes the 2-dimensional surface area (length x width) and adds a 3rd dimension in the form of depth, or height. Answers in volume will always be a cubic unit of measure.

Summing it up:

Surface Area: L x W

Cubic Area (Volume): L x W x H

There is no reason for the surface area to remain the same even if the volume is the same.

How is an increase of diameter of a cell related to the increase in surface area and volume?

If all other dimensions of the cell remain the same, both surface area and volume should increase if the diameter is increased.


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.

What dimentions do you need to get the same surface area as volume?

The depth would have to have a value of 1. For example, a slab 60" long by 24" wide by 1" deep would have the same surface area as volume. Examples: Area = LxW (60x24=1440 sq inches). Volume = LXWXD (60x24x1=1440 cubic inches). In this case, the volume has the same value as the surface area
