Surface size directly affects the possibility for gas exchange. Volume affects how much the cell can contain. If a cell has a large volume and a small surface area, it will be able to keep in water easily. But if it needs outside gas input for its reactions, the small surface area may be a limiting factor.

The surface area to volume ratio is 1:1 Surface area = (6*6) * 6 = 216 Volume = 6*6*6 = 216
Surface area to volume ratio in nanoparticles have a significant effect on the nanoparticles properties. Firstly, nanoparticles have a relative larger surface area when compared to the same volume of the material. For example, let us consider a sphere of radius r: The surface area of the sphere will be 4πr2 The volume of the sphere = 4/3(πr3) Therefore the surface area to the volume ratio will be 4πr2/{4/3(πr3)} = 3/r It means that the surface area to volume ration increases with the decrease in radius of the sphere and vice versa.
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
Volume=area * length of that surface
