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.
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.
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 gets larger its surface area to volume ratio?
... will decrease.
Do smaller adult human have smaller cells than larger human or just more cells?
No, cell size doesn't change.
What is smaller than human cell in the human body?
All cells are smaller than human(except when you're comparing a chicken egg to an embryo)
How are viruses different from microorganism?
Viruses are different from other microorganisms as they are too much smaller in comparision to any other microorganism. They are not cells and do not contain cell organelles. They cannot multiply on their own. For this, they need to enter a living host cell.
What would happen to a multicellular plant if a microorganism that digests pectin was accidentally released from a laboratory?
the microorganism will stick to a cell and steal nutrients from the cell, grow larger and then to the same thing over and over to the other cells too, causing the plant to die.
Would a cell placed in distilled water and then transferred to a 5 percent salt solution get larger or smaller?
get larger then smaller... XD
Are plant cell usually smaller or larger than animal cell?
plant cell - is bigger than animals cell
What it is a genome?
A genome is the complete set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism. It is also the same in every cell of a multicellular organism, like a human.
Are chromosomes larger than a cell?
Typically, chromosomes are not larger than a cell. Chromosomes are made up of DNA and proteins and are found within the nucleus of a cell. Cells contain many chromosomes, each of which is a long, coiled molecule.
What is a single cell creature called?
Microorganism
Another word that means cell?
Microorganism
How much bigger is an ovum cell than a human cell?
An ovum cell is typically much larger than a somatic (body) cell. The ovum cell is the largest cell in the human body, visible to the naked eye, while somatic cells are much smaller and vary in size depending on the specific cell type.
Is a cell smaller than a bacteria?
Yes, a single cell is typically smaller than a bacterium. Cells are the basic building blocks of life, while bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that can be larger in size compared to a single cell.
