What is the relationship between the surface area and the volume of a cell as one increases or decreases so does the other?

Remember that as the diameter of a spherical cell increases, the surface area increases as the square of the diameter, and the volume increases as the cube of the diameter, so volume increases much faster than surface area. The same principle applies for other shapes than spherical cells, but the math is more complicated.

When cell size increases the surface area to volume ratio does what?
decreases i believe(:
What is the relationship between the length of a side and the surface area-to-volume ratio of a cell?
As size increases, the s/v ratio decreases-- the s/v ratio of a cubic cell 1mm on a side is 6, but the s/v ratio of a cubic cell 3mm on a side is only 2.
What is the relationship between resistivity and circumference?
The relationship between resistivity and circumference is inverse.The resistance of a substance decreases as the surface area of that substance increases. The greater circumference presents a greater conduction surface.AnswerThe original answer describes resistance, NOT resistivity. Additionally, it is incorrect because resistance is inversely-proportional to cross-sectional area NOT circumference!There is NO relationship between resistivity and the circumference of a material. Resisitivity is a constant at any given temperature and is completely unaffected by the dimensions of a material.
Which cell has the greater surface area compared to its volume the large cell or one of the smaller cells?
A smaller cell has a higher surface area to volume ratio. A reason for this is volume is cubic (3D) and surface area is 2D so when surface area increases a little bit, the volume increases exponentially. And when the surface area shrinks a little bit, the volume decreases exponentially.
Will the surface area of a cylinder increase more if you double the height or double the radius?
it will increase more if you double the radius because the dimensions multiply and the curved surface has less area to cover as its height decreases and width increases
What is the relationship between rate of ion exchange and surface to volume ratio?
As the surface to volume ratio increases the rate of in exchange increases too.
What is the relationship between the density of earth materials and depth below the surface of the earth?
As the depth increases, the density increases also.
What is the relationship between the density of the earths materials and depth below the surface of the earth?
As the depth increases, the density increases also.
What happens to the surface tension of a liquid when it is heated?
As heat increases the surface tension decreases.
What is the effect of increase of temperature on surface tension?
Surface tension decreases as temperature increases.
What happens to the pressure of the earth as depth below the surface increases?
the pressure decreases the pressure increases
Which statement describes the general relationship between temperature and luminosity of main sequence stars?
as surface temperature increases, luminosity increases
What is the relationship between surface area and rate of reaction?
The increase in surface area of reactants increases the contact between reacting molecules, atoms or ions so the rate of reaction becomes increased.
What happens to the surface of the cell as the volume of the cell increases?
The surface area decreases. your a lier dude
The amount of gas in the atmosphere does what when the height above the earth's surface increases?
It decreases
What decreases as the volume of course material increases?
The surface area-to-volume ratio.
When cell size increases the surface area to volume ratio does what?
decreases i believe(:
