What is the relationship between the surface area to volume ratio of a cell and its size?
The larger the surface area to volume ratio of a cell, the smaller its size (and vice versa).
Is the surface-area-to-volume ratio of a small cell less than that of a larger cell?
As a cell becomes larger the surface area to volume ratio gets smaller. The volume increases by the square of the surface area. That is the main reason that one celled organisms are small.
Is true that small cells have larger surface area to volume rations than do larger cells?
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
How will surface area to volume ratios of a small cell compare to those of a large cell?
A small cell will have a larger surface-to-volume ratio.
As a cell gets larger its surface area to volume ratio?
... will decrease.
Do smaller adult human have smaller cells than larger human or just more cells?
No, cell size doesn't change.
What is smaller than human cell in the human body?
All cells are smaller than human(except when you're comparing a chicken egg to an embryo)
How are viruses different from microorganism?
Viruses are different from other microorganisms as they are too much smaller in comparision to any other microorganism. They are not cells and do not contain cell organelles. They cannot multiply on their own. For this, they need to enter a living host cell.
What would happen to a multicellular plant if a microorganism that digests pectin was accidentally released from a laboratory?
the microorganism will stick to a cell and steal nutrients from the cell, grow larger and then to the same thing over and over to the other cells too, causing the plant to die.
Would a cell placed in distilled water and then transferred to a 5 percent salt solution get larger or smaller?
get larger then smaller... XD
Are chromosomes larger than a cell?
No, chromosomes are smaller than cells. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of cells which codes for the synthesis of proteins.
Are plant cell usually smaller or larger than animal cell?
plant cell - is bigger than animals cell
Predict what might happen to multicellular plants if a microorganism that digests pectin was accidentally released from a laboratory?
The microorganism will stick to a cell and steal nutrients from the cell, grow larger and then to the same thing over and over to the other cells too, causing the plant to die.http://wiki.answers.com/What_would_happen_to_a_multicellular_plant_if_a_microorganism_that_digests_pectin_was_accidentally_released_from_a_laboratory#ixzz1dopS2mX7
What it is a genome?
A genome is the complete set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism. It is also the same in every cell of a multicellular organism, like a human.
Which has the greater surface area one large cell or 27 smaller cells?
If the smaller cells' total volume is at least that of the larger cell then the smaller cells have the greater surface area.
What happens to a cell placed in distilled water and then transferred to 5 percent salt will it get bigger or smaller?
Get larger,then smaller
Another word that means cell?
Microorganism
