What happens to the surface area to volume ratio when you cut an orange in half?

Volume remains constant (as the two halves of the orange still equal one full volume). Surface area increases by the 2x the area of the circle created by the bisection of the orange.

Why do things that have a bigger surface area volume ratio dry faster than things with a smaller surface area volume ratio?
Because evaporation happens at the surface.
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.
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.
Why are groups of a small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out?
they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
Does a basketball have a lot of surface to volume ratio?
No. A sphere has the smallest surface to volume ratio possible and a basketball is nearly spherical in shape (it has surface dimpling and seams).
What happens to the surface area to volume ratio when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane?
The surface area to volume ratio will increase
What happens to a cell's ratio of surface area to volume as the cell's volume increases more rapidly than its surface area?
The ratio decreases.
What happens to a cell's ratio of surface area to volume as the cell's volume increases more rapidly than surface area?
The ratio decreases.
Why do things that have a bigger surface area volume ratio dry faster than things with a smaller surface area volume ratio?
Because evaporation happens at the surface.
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's ratio of surface area to volume as the cell's volume increases more rapidly than it surface?
it callapses
What happens to a cell's ratio of surface are to volume as its cell volume increases more rapidly than its surface area?
it decreases
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 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 happens to a cells surface area to volume ratio as it gets smaller?
It increases.
Describe what happens to the surface area to volume ratio for larger and larger cubes?
For a cube with edge length, L. Surface area = 6L2. Volume = L3. So ratio of Surface Area / Volume = 6 / L. Therefore, as the side length, L, increases, the ratio will decrease.
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.
