The relationship is usually expressed as a ratio: surface area divided by volume. Small cells have a large surface area to volume ratio, whilst large cells have a much smaller value. This is important because the cell absorbs the things it needs, and gets rid of what it doesn't need, through the surface. If the cell gets too large, not enough exchange can take place to keep the cell going, so there is a natural limit on the size to which a cell can grow.

What is the relationship between radius and surface area to volume ratio How does SAV affect the interactions a substance has with its surroundings?

The relationship between the radius and surface area depends on the shape and that is why some cells are spherical while others are flattened. The greater the SAV ratio of an object, the greater the scope for surface reactions of the object with its surroundings.
