Why cells must be small in terms of surface area and volume ratio?

I just learned about this in school. They need to be small in the ratio to make them more efficent in having molecules enter and leave them quickley.


Describe what is meant by each of the following terms cell volume cell surface area ratio of surface area to volume?

A cell's volume is the amount of material that can fit into the cell. A cell's surface area is the total amount of material that makes up the outside of the cell. The ratio of surface area to volume is the amount of surface area per unit volume of an object or collection of objects.


Explain why in terms of a cell's surface area-to-volume ratio?

The surface area-to-volume ratio is crucial for a cell's efficiency in exchanging materials with its environment. As a cell grows, its volume increases faster than its surface area, which can limit the ability of the cell to transport nutrients in and waste products out. A higher surface area relative to volume facilitates more efficient diffusion and cellular processes, which is why cells tend to remain small or divide when they reach a certain size. This ratio impacts overall cellular function and can influence growth, metabolism, and the ability to respond to environmental changes.


Would a spherical protist or a cylindrical protist have a higher surface area to volume ratio?

A cylindrical protist has a higher surface are to volume ratio. This is because of the physical properties of spheres (some rather complicated math proves that spheres hold the most volume for their area).


Why does a cell need to divide in terms of surface area to volume ratios?

A cell needs to divide because its surface area to volume ratio decreases as it grows larger. This impacts the cell's ability to take in nutrients and expel waste efficiently. By dividing, the cell can increase its surface area relative to its volume, allowing for better nutrient exchange.


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.


How do you find the ratio of surface area to volume for a cube with a length of 2 cm?

The surface area of a cube with side length ( s ) is ( 6s^2 ) and the volume is ( s^3 ). For a cube with side length 2 cm, the surface area is ( 6(2^2) = 24 ) cm(^2) and the volume is ( 2^3 = 8 ) cm(^3). The ratio of surface area to volume for this cube is ( \frac{24}{8} = 3 ).


What is the formula for the volume of a sphere in terms of surface area S?

Given the surface area, where S=surface area, the formula for finding the volume isV = √(S / 4pi)


The surface area of a cube in terms of its volume?

Let V=volume V^(1/3)=Side Length=S 6*S^2=Surface Area Surface Area=6*(Volume)^(2/3)


If a sphere has a volume of 288pi what is its surface Ares in terms of pi?

144pi sq


What is the formula for density in words and mathematical symbols?

The density of an object is the ratio of its mass to its volume. Equivalently, it is its mass per unit volumes. In mathematical terms, Density = Mass/Volume


How do you mix 32oz of solution 1 1 ratio with water?

A 1:1 ratio can be defined in terms of volume or in terms of mass (weight). In either case, if the solution does not already contain water, a 1:1 ratio will require the same quantities of the solution and of water. The question suggests that the ratio is by mass, so add 32 ounces (mass) of water.
