What is the relationship between the surface area to volume ratio of a cell and its size?
The larger the surface area to volume ratio of a cell, the smaller its size (and vice versa).
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.
Are you converting from a smaller to larger unit or larger to smaller unit converting millimeters to meter?
You convert to a larger unit. Smaller to larger. Metre is 1000 times larger than a millimetre
The surface areas of two similar hexagonal prisms are 882 and1058 What is the scale factor of the smaller prism to the larger prism?
It is 21/23.
Which has greater surface area a sugar cube or an equal mass of sugar crystals?
Consider this:If a cube has side length d, then its volume is d3 and its surface area is 6d2.If I cut the cube into 8 smaller cubes by bisecting each edge, then the new side length is d/2, the sum of the volume is 8 * ((d/2)3) = d3, and the surface area is 8 * (6(d/2)2) = 12d2.Therefore, even though the volume stayed constant, the sum of the surface area increased when I cut a larger cube into small cubes. The increase in surface area will be larger and larger as the cube is cut into smaller and smaller pieces. Therefore a sugar cube always has less surface area than an equal mass of sugar crystals.Granulated sugar has more surface area than a sugar cube.
How does changing the shape of an antacid tablet affect how fast it breaks down?
the smaller each bit of the tablet, the larger the surface area is hence the quickier the reaction will take place... chemstry 101 the smaller each bit of the tablet, the larger the surface area is hence the quickier the reaction will take place... chemstry 101
Metabolic process that breaks down larger molecules into smaller ones?
Catabolism
Does a smaller rock a have higher or lower percentage of surface area than a larger rock?
It depends on percentage related to WHAT! You cannot express surface area as a percentage of volume since the dimensions are different. So the only percentage you can have is the suface area of the smaller rock as a percentage of the surface area of the larger rock. In that case, the answer, not surprisingly, is that the smaller rock has the smaller percentage surface area.It depends on percentage related to WHAT!

Is the effective population size usually larger or smaller than the actual individuals in the population?
it is smaller because it is only the individuals who can breed
Which h value of capacitor is more effective as a filter element the larger or smaller and why?
100 microfarad
What factors limit the size of a cell?
Cell size is limited by a cell's surface area to volume ratio. A smaller cell is more effective and transporting materials, including waste products, than a larger cell.
Are large brakes on bicycle wheels more effective than smaller ones?
Generally, large brakes on bicycle wheels are more effective than smaller ones. A longer brake with more material has the ability to produce more friction on the tire because it covers a larger surface area. Sometimes a smaller brake with a far higher quality can work just as good or even better.
How does the action of chewing help the enzymes?
Chewing breaks down food into smaller particles, increasing the surface area available for enzymes to act on. This process also mixes the food with saliva, which contains enzymes like amylase that start the digestion process in the mouth. By incorporating chewing, the food is pre-digested before reaching the stomach, helping the enzymes more effectively break down nutrients.
What is size of solute?
It is the amount of surface of a solute that is exposed to the solvent. The smaller the pieces of the solute are, the larger the surface area that is exposed to the solvent.
If you have a larger piston in hydrolics pushing two smaller pistons does it exert the same force per smaller piston that you push on the larger piston?
Yes, in a hydraulic system, when a larger piston is pushing on two smaller pistons, the force applied to the smaller pistons will be the same as the force applied to the larger piston, assuming the system is closed and incompressible. This is due to Pascal's law, which states that pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in every direction.
Which has the greater surface area one large cell or 27 smaller cells?
27 smaller cells would have a greater surface area than one large cell. This is because the total surface area of the smaller cells would be greater due to the additional surface area of the cell membranes around each individual cell.
Are smaller particles weathered more rapidly than larger particles?
Yes, because smaller particles are more exposed to air (large surface area).
