The volume is how much space is inside the cell. The ratio is the surface area divided by the volume. This indicates how much surface area is available compared to how big the cell is.

What is the surface area to volume ratio in a cell and why is it importa NT?
The surface area to volume ratio is how big the cell's membrane's area is compared to the volume of everything inside the cell. If the volume becomes too large, the cell will not be able to release waste or receive necessary nutrients as easily. Plus, the cell's DNA can't keep up with the cell.
What is the best unit to measure a cell membrane?
volume
How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grews large?
It will decrease. In a larger cell, you have less surface area per volume.
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.
The rate at which wastes are produced by a cell depends on the cell's?
volume
How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
As the cell grows larger the ratio of surface area to volume increases. Larger cell = more volume for the amount surface area.
Describe what is meant by each of the following terms cell volume cell surface area ratio of surface area to volume?
A cell's volume is the amount of material that can fit into the cell. A cell's surface area is the total amount of material that makes up the outside of the cell. The ratio of surface area to volume is the amount of surface area per unit volume of an object or collection of objects.
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.
What is the surface area to volume ratio in a cell and why is it importa NT?
The surface area to volume ratio is how big the cell's membrane's area is compared to the volume of everything inside the cell. If the volume becomes too large, the cell will not be able to release waste or receive necessary nutrients as easily. Plus, the cell's DNA can't keep up with the cell.
What is the best unit to measure a cell membrane?
volume
How does nerves cell tune down the volume of signals?
The nerve cell tune down the volume of signals by contracting.
How does surface to volume ratio to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
How does cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
because it has the surface area of volume
Describe cell volume cell surface area ratio of surface area to volume?
Look in the book broseff.
how does surface to volume relate to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
Explain the relationship between cell surface area and volume as a cell grows larger?
As the volume of a cell grows, the surface area grows but not as quickly.
How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grews large?
It will decrease. In a larger cell, you have less surface area per volume.
