It is not always the case. If you are out in the cold with insufficient clothing, the important thing - to prevent hypothermia - is to MINIMISE the surface 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.
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.
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.
What is ratio of surface area to volume?
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
As a cell becomes smaller its surface-area-to-volume ratio?
The surface area to volume ratio decreases - assuming the shape remains similar.
Why the vessels are in conical shape?
To maximize the surface area/volume ratio.
How does surface to volume ratio affects heat loss?
The surface-to-volume ratio is a mathematical relationship between the volume of an object and the amount of surface area it has. This ratio often plays an important role in biological structures. An increase in the radius will increase the surface area by a power of two, but increase the volume by a power of three.
Why is the catalyst made porous?
By making the pellets porous, you maximize the surface to volume ratio of the catalyst, which allows you to use less of it, but get the same effect.
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.
Why is surface area an important characteristic of a cell?
a low surface to volume ratio doesn't waste membrane material
What ratio is important when determining how easily things will move into and out of a cell?
surface area and volume
What 3 things limit cell size?
DNA, Diffusion, and Surface Area to Volume Ratio.
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.
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.
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.
