Does a basketball have a lot of surface to volume ratio?
No. A sphere has the smallest surface to volume ratio possible and a basketball is nearly spherical in shape (it has surface dimpling and seams).
How does surface area describe a cell?
Surface area of cell is divided volume of cell to get surface to volume ratio . If surface area is 8 cm2 and volume is 2 cm2 . The ratio would be 4:1 .
What is the relationship between rate of ion exchange and surface to volume ratio?
As the surface to volume ratio increases the rate of in exchange increases too.
Why do things that have a bigger surface area volume ratio dry faster than things with a smaller surface area volume ratio?
Because evaporation happens at the surface.
What is meant by surface area to volume ratio?
Surface area to volume ratio is defined as the amount of surface area per unit volume of either a single object or a collection of objects. The calculation of this measurement is important in figuring out the rate at which a chemical reaction will proceed.
How do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?
The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.
How can you obtain a cell's ratio of surface area to volume?
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
What 3 things limit cell size?
DNA, Diffusion, and Surface Area to Volume Ratio.
What happens to the surface area to volume ratio when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane?
The surface area to volume ratio will increase
How can you find a cell's survace area to volume ratio?
to obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
How does surface to volume ratio to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
What happens to a cell's ratio of surface area to volume as the 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.
How does surface-to-volume ratio relate to the size of the cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
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 ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere with the following measurements surface area 300m2 volume 500m3?
0.6 is the surface area to volume ratio.
How does the shape surface area and volume affect how fast magma cools?
The shape affects the ratio of surface area to volume. The greater the surface are to volume ratio, the faster the magma will cool.
What is ratio of surface area to volume?
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
