The volume of a body and the surface area arerelated but not in a direct way. For a given volume, the smallest surface area of an object is seen then the object is a sphere. As the shape flattens from a sphere, so the surface area becomes larger. When the object approaches an infinitely small thickness, the surface area approaches and infinite size.
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.
surface area divided by volume
Volume=area * length of that surface
Think of surface area as your skin and volume as all the contents inside your body. So they relate because surface area can hold volume or volume could be inside the surface area.
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.
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.
Volume does not, surface area does.
surface area divided by volume
Volume=area * length of that surface
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
As volume increases surface area increase, but the higher the volume the less surface area in the ratio. For example. A cube 1mmx1mmx1mm has volume of 1mm3 surface area of 6mm2 which is a ration of 1:6 and a cube of 2mmx2mmx2mm has a volume of 8mm3 and surface area of 24mm2 which is a ratio of 1:3.
Think of surface area as your skin and volume as all the contents inside your body. So they relate because surface area can hold volume or volume could be inside the surface area.
You need to:* Calculate the surface area * Calculate the volume * Divide the surface area by the volume
to obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease if its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area.
