What else can I help you with?
How does a cell's surface area influence the cell's growth rate?
it needs room
How does surface area to volume ratio of a cell affect rate of diffusion?
The surface area to volume ratio of a cell affects the rate of diffusion in that the higher the ratio, the faster the rate of diffusion. This is a directly proportional relationship.
What does the rate at which materials move through the cell membrane depend upon?
the cell's surface area
What happens to the surface of the cell as the volume of the cell increases?
As the volume of a cell increases, the surface area of the cell also increases, but at a slower rate. This can lead to a decrease in the surface area-to-volume ratio of the cell. A decreased surface area-to-volume ratio can impact the cell's ability to efficiently exchange materials with its environment, potentially affecting its overall functioning.
What happens to the volume and surface area of a cell as a cell becomes larger?
They both increase with increasing cell radius (if we model a cell as a sphere). However, the rate of increase of the surface area is in general slower (dA/dr = 8πr) compared to the rate of increase of the volume (dV/dr = 4πr2). This would mean that with increasing cell size, the surface area to volume ratio is becoming smaller and smaller, giving a cell less surface area for the transport of nutrients for a given unit volume.
Is as cell surface area increases cell volume increases faster true?
Yes, as cell surface area increases, the cell volume increases at a faster rate. This is because the surface area to volume ratio decreases as the cell grows larger, which can affect the efficiency of nutrient uptake and waste removal within the cell.
Why is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate low with sickle cell anemia patients?
because the sickle cell has small surface. and the ESR is proportional to surface area of red blood cell.
As a cell increases in size the a. metabolic rate increases. b. surface area to volume ratio increases. c. volume increases and the surface area increases. d. surface area increases and the volume d?
d. surface area increases and the volume does not increase at the same rate, leading to a decrease in surface area to volume ratio.
What happens to the surface area and volume of a cell as it becomes larger?
They both increase with increasing cell radius (if we model a cell as a sphere). However, the rate of increase of the surface area is in general slower (dA/dr = 8πr) compared to the rate of increase of the volume (dV/dr = 4πr2).

How does surface to volume ratio relate to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
What is the advantage of the presence of on cell membranes?
the membrane has a greater surface area for an increased rate of diffusion
As a cell becomes larger what happens to its surface area and volume?
The Volume increases faster than the Surface Area
