If you increase the radius, the volume will increase more than the area.
The volume increases faster. (proportional to the cube of the radius)The surface area increases slower. (proportional to the square of the radius)
The volume increases 27-fold.
As a cell increases in size the volume increases much faster than the surface area. The possible answer is C.
The Volume increases faster than the Surface Area
It decreases. As the dimensions increase by a number, the surface area increases by the same number to the power of 2, but the volume increases by the same number to the power of 3, meaning that the volume increases faster than the surface area.
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease if its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area.
As volume increases surface area increase, but the higher the volume the less surface area in the ratio. For example. A cube 1mmx1mmx1mm has volume of 1mm3 surface area of 6mm2 which is a ration of 1:6 and a cube of 2mmx2mmx2mm has a volume of 8mm3 and surface area of 24mm2 which is a ratio of 1:3.
Surface area increases as the square of the diameter, whereas the volume increases by the cube.
Three-dimensional figures are typically measured by their volume and surface area. Volume quantifies the amount of space enclosed within the figure, while surface area measures the total area that the surface of the figure occupies. Together, these measurements provide a comprehensive understanding of the figure's size and capacity. Examples include cubes, spheres, and cylinders, each with specific formulas for calculating these properties.
As cell volume increases, the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume decreases. This is because the surface area increases by a square factor while the volume increases by a cube factor. A higher surface area to volume ratio is more favorable for efficient nutrient exchange and waste removal in cells.
Although they do not increase at the same rate, as the surface area increases the volume increases slowly.
The formula for the surface area of a sphere is 4πr2. The formula for the volume of a sphere is 4/3πr3.
