How can you obtain a cell's ratio of surface area to volume?

To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.


What is ratio of surface area to volume?

surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.


How do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?

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.


Does volume surface area have cm square?

Volume does not, surface area does.


How do you calculate surface area to volume?

surface area divided by volume


How to Converting volume to surface area?

Volume=area * length of that surface


What is the surface area to volume ratio?

surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.


What is the definition of cell surface area?

The surface area of a cell is defined as the total area encompassing the perimeter of the outer cell layer. The surface area of a cell is an important part of the Surface Area to Volume Ratio in terms of the effect it has on molecules that are entering or exit the cell.


What happens to a cell's ratio of surface area to volume as the volume increases more rapidly than its surface area?

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.


Why are volume and surface area alike?

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.


how do you find the volume of the surface area of the solid 6 feet round 5 inches height and 7 inches long?

"volume of the surface area" is garbled: by definition an area is a two-dimensional measurement and so has a volume of zero. Was that "volume AND the surface area"? Anyway the simplest way to determine this is to just wait for your teacher to reveal the answers to the homework exercises, since that's surely where this comes from...


How do you compare the surface are to volume ratio of cells of different size?

You need to:* Calculate the surface area * Calculate the volume * Divide the surface area by the volume
