What happens to cells as organisms grow?
individual cells grows in size, but there are limits to the size that cells can reach. cells need a high ratio of surface area to volume in order to function. as a cell grows, that ratio decreases. when the cell divides into two smaller cells, the ratio of surface area to volume for each cell increases.
How many neurons and intestinal cells each have greatly increased surface area?
A sufficiently high ratio of surface area to volume is especially important in cells that exchange a lot of material with their surroundings.
What cell is in plant cells and animal cells?
There are no cells IN cells, each cell is a separate entity be it a plant cell or an animal cell.
Calculate the surface area volume ratio of surface area to volume of an imaginary cubic cell measuring 4 cm on each side?
Surface Area =6 a2= 96 Volume=a3= 64 Ratio of area to volume=84:64 = 21:16
What is the importance of the shape of biconcave of red blood cell?
Red blood cells are bi-concave so that they can store more haemoglobin. This gives each cells a greater affinity for oxygen, allowing more to be transported around the body. In other words, the surface area is increased.

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 does the surface area of a cell limit the growth of the cell?
The rate of diffusion is affected by properties of a cell, the diffusing molecule, and the surrounding solution.
How many neurons and intestinal cells each have greatly increased surface area?
A sufficiently high ratio of surface area to volume is especially important in cells that exchange a lot of material with their surroundings.
The smaller the cell the smaller its ratio of surface area to volume?
It really depends on the cell. Different cells have different ratios, as each cell has a relatively unique length, width, and height. To find the surface area to volume ratio, divide the cell's surface area by the cell's volume.surface area= 6 x (length x length)volume= length x width x heightratio= surface area/volumeI really hope this helps, because besides the fact that unhelpful answers are frustrating, I have also just wasted my time by writing this and yours by having you read this!
What happens to a cells surface area when a cells volume increases?
Let's say you have a cell, a cell in the form of a cube. Let's also say that each square of the cube is 1 unit by 1 unit. That would make the surface area equal to 6. (6 x (1x1)= surface area) The volume of the cube, length x width x height would be just 1 unit cubed. (1x1x1) Now, let's say each square of the cube is 2 units by 2 units. Now, the surface area is 6 x (2x2), making 24 units squared. The volume would be 2x2x2, equalling eight units cubed. The ratio has changed from 6:1 to 24:8 (3:1). As a cell gets larger, the volume of the cell increases more faster than the the surface area. Cells are more efficient if they're smaller because if a cell gets too large, the inner workings don't function as well. It's more difficult to perform transport within the cell and the food and waste needed to be taken in and expelled is more difficult when the cell is too large.
What is the surface area of a cuboidal cell that measures 5 m on each side?
25 µm2

Why are all cells in general small?
Cells in general are small because that way if you have a lot of them like animals do, then you will be able to absord nutrients better. 100 cells absorb nutrients better than one giant cell. Smaller cells absorb nutrients better because together they have a greater surface area of cell membrane, which is where nutrients are absorbed. Another possible reason cells are small is because if they were big, we would be huge.
What is a red cell?
Also know as erythrocytes, red blood cells have the shape of a bioconcavedisc. The bioconcavedisc transports gases and increases the surface area in which gases diffuse. Each red blood cell is about 1/3 hemoglobin by volume. They have nuclei during their early stages of development, but extrude them asthe cells mature.
