How will surface area to volume ratios of a small cell compare to those of a large cell?
A small cell will have a larger surface-to-volume ratio.
What happens to the relationship between the surface area and volume of the cell as it gets larger?
if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function. That is why cells are so small. That may be the effect but the question as worded is purely arithmetical. Surface area is proportional to the square of the linear dimensions; volume to the cube.
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.
What is the volume of a shape with a surface area of ten cm?
depends on the shape... if its a sphere or a prism or what. You'll get different answers because they have different surface area to volume ratios. Sphere will give you the biggest volume for a given surface area.
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.
Why are groups of a small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out?
they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
How will surface area to volume ratios of a small cell compare to those of a large cell?
A small cell will have a larger surface-to-volume ratio.
As a cell becomes larger what happens to its surface area and volume?
The Volume increases faster than the Surface Area
How does the surface area of mitochondria or chloroplas affect its energy output?
The surface area of mitochondria or chloroplast affect its energy output because larger surfaces-to-volume ratio imply more loss of energy as opposed to smaller surface-to-volume ratios.

Describe what happens to the surface area to volume ratio for larger and larger cubes?
For a cube with edge length, L. Surface area = 6L2. Volume = L3. So ratio of Surface Area / Volume = 6 / L. Therefore, as the side length, L, increases, the ratio will decrease.
What happens the surface to volume ratio when the cell becomes larger?
As a cell becomes larger, its volume increases faster than its surface area. This results in a decrease in the surface area to volume ratio. A high surface area to volume ratio is important for efficient exchange of nutrients and waste with the cell's environment.
What happens to the volume as an object gets larger?
really.. the answer is that the volume also gets larger
How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
As a cell grows larger, its volume increases faster than its surface area, leading to a decrease in the surface area-to-volume ratio. This can limit the cell's ability to efficiently exchange materials with its environment, affecting its overall functioning.
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.
What happens to the surface area volume ratio of you increase the volume of a cell?
The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger.Thus, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membranefast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume.When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function.That is why cells are so small.

depends on the shape... if its a sphere or a prism or what. You'll get different answers because they have different surface area to volume ratios. Sphere will give you the biggest volume for a given surface area.
