Since the volume of a shape is measured in cm3, m3 etc. and the surface area is measured in m2, cm2 etc. You can't really compare the two. However, if you're just looking at the numbers than yes it can be and in most cases the volume will generally be smaller than the surface area. Hopefully that makes sense and helps!

Describe the dimensions of a rectangular prism with a volume of 80 and a surface area of less than 132?
5x4x4 Volume=80 Surface Area=112
Is the surface-area-to-volume ratio of a small cell less than that of a larger cell?
As a cell becomes larger the surface area to volume ratio gets smaller. The volume increases by the square of the surface area. That is the main reason that one celled organisms are small.
How does a small surface area per unit volume help cacti live in areas that are dry for long periods of time?
Any living thing that has a low surface area per unit of volume will lose less moisture to evaporation than a living thing with a high surface area to volume ratio.
Is the surface area of an object be smaller than the volume?
It can be.
Which is true about the volume or surface area of these prisms?
You must be with K12 if you are it is The surface area of A is greater than the surface area of B.
