What is ratio of surface area to volume?
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
In what way is the surface area more important for cells than volume?
For example, the amount of nutrients a cell can absorb are proportional to its surface area.
Is true that small cells have larger surface area to volume rations than do larger cells?
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
Do cells divide to have a smaller surface area?
No. In fact, if they retain their combined volume, their surface area would increase.
The area of a cells outer surface in relationship to its volume is?
cell membrane
What is ratio of surface area to volume?

What is the surface area to volume ratio?
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
In what way is the surface area more important for cells than volume?
For example, the amount of nutrients a cell can absorb are proportional to its surface area.
In what ways is surface area more important for cells than volume?
Surface area is more important to cells because it determines how fast a cell's metabolism is and whether it can survive or not. More volume means more energy to run a cells' processes and transporting. By having a smaller surface area, the materials can be transported faster so that it can quickly metabolize and continue to survive.
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.
How do you compare the surface are to volume ratio of cells of different size?
You need to:* Calculate the surface area * Calculate the 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.
Cells are limited in size by their surface Ares and what else?
Cell size is limited by volume.Surface area to volume ratio (surface area / volume)Nucleo-cytoplasmic ratioFragility of cell membraneMechanical structures necessary to hold the cell together (and the contents of the cell in place)
What happens to a cell ratio of surface area to volume as the cells volume increases rapidly than its surface area?
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease if its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area.
Is true that small cells have larger surface area to volume rations than do larger cells?
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
Why is a cell's size limited?
because the diffusion of a cell. and the volume surface area of the cell.
What is the relationship between a cells surfaces area and it's volume?
The relationship is usually expressed as a ratio: surface area divided by volume. Small cells have a large surface area to volume ratio, whilst large cells have a much smaller value. This is important because the cell absorbs the things it needs, and gets rid of what it doesn't need, through the surface. If the cell gets too large, not enough exchange can take place to keep the cell going, so there is a natural limit on the size to which a cell can grow.
