For example, the amount of nutrients a cell can absorb are proportional to its surface area.
so it can get more sun
It is not always the case. If you are out in the cold with insufficient clothing, the important thing - to prevent hypothermia - is to MINIMISE the surface to volume ratio.
Fungi make their food via absorption, and a large surface area makes nutrient absorption extremely efficient.
It is the surface area of the two ends plus the surface area of the curved surface. Surface area of each end is pir2 Surface area of the curved surface is 2pirh Total surface area = 2pir2 + 2pirh
Simply put, larger surface area allows for more digestive process to occur.

It is important that the gills of a crayfish give them a large surface area because it helps the crayfish to breathe. The bigger the surface area, the more oxygen in the crayfishes system.Ê
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.
For example, the amount of nutrients a cell can absorb are proportional to its surface area.
Surface area affects several things, such as how quickly an object cools down; the rate of chemical reactions will also depend on the exposed area.
You can't absorb that which doesn't make contact with the surface.
Because it increases the surface area available for transfer of materials.
surface area
because the surface area does not grow as fast as the organellles
The area of a beaker refers to the surface area that can hold a liquid, which would be the curved surface area of the beaker. This would require calculating the lateral surface area of the beaker based on its dimensions. The area cannot be determined with just the volume measurement.
a low surface to volume ratio doesn't waste membrane material
