Since the cell has six sides, it must be a tetrahedron.

Area = sqrt(3)*32 mm2 = 9*sqrt(3) mm2

Volume = 33/(6*sqrt(2))

So area/Volume = 9*sqrt(3)*6*sqrt(2)/33 mm

= 2*sqrt(6) mm

How does cell growth affect the cell surface to volume ratio?

The rate at which the cell increases in size depends on the DNA. The ratio of the surface area (calculated: length x width x # of sides) is divided by the cell volume (calculated: length x width x height). THE VOLUME OF THE CELL INCREASES MORE RAPIDLY THAN THE SURFACE AREA, CAUSING THE RATIO OF SURFACE AREA OVER VOLUME TO DECREASE. This decrease causes cell malfunction. If the cell volume increases too much, then the ratio will decrease causing problems for the cell's regular functions.


Would a cell with 10micrometer sides or a cell with 7micrometer sides or a cell with 13micrometer sides be most efficient at waste removal and supplying nutrients to the cell and why?

The smallest cell. because the surface area to volume ratio of the cell will be highest in the smallest cell and so nutrients will be more easily exchanged with the environment. In simple terms, the 7 micrometer cell. This gives the cell lysosomes less trouble getting waste out and lets the mitochondria get the nutrients it needs faster over a shorter distance.

How does cell growth affect the cell's surface-to volume ratio?

As a cell grows, its volume increases faster than its surface area. This leads to a decrease in the cell's surface-to-volume ratio. A lower surface-to-volume ratio can impact the cell's ability to efficiently exchange nutrients and waste with its environment.


How does surface to volume ratio to the size of a cell?

As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.

What is cell volume?

The volume is how much space is inside the cell. The ratio is the surface area divided by the volume. This indicates how much surface area is available compared to how big the cell is.


How does surface-to-volume ratio relate to the size of the cell?

As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.


What is a cell with a surface area and limits the cells size called?

A cell with a surface area that limits its size is called a small cell or a cell with a high surface area-to-volume ratio. This ratio influences the efficiency of nutrient absorption and waste elimination in the cell.


What is the relationship between the length of a side and the surface area-to-volume ratio of a cell?

As size increases, the s/v ratio decreases-- the s/v ratio of a cubic cell 1mm on a side is 6, but the s/v ratio of a cubic cell 3mm on a side is only 2.


What is the ratio of DNA in a daughter cell after mitosis?

The ratio of DNA in a daughter cell after mitosis is 2:1. Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell.
