If the surface area of a cell or of any object is increased, then the surface:volume increases as well, assuming the volume is kept constant (done by folding plasma membrane or other surface inwards, as with the small intestine, brain, cell, mitochondria, etc.).
As a cell becomes smaller, its surface area to volume ratio increases. This is because the surface area decreases at a slower rate than the volume, resulting in a larger surface area relative to the volume. This increased ratio is important for efficient exchange of nutrients and waste products with the cell's environment.
It will increase, making it easier to exchange substances more readily then large cells. Therefore it means that substances doesn't have to travel as far to reach the center of smaller cell.
Since there is nothing "following", the answer is none of them!
The rate of reactions with the outside slow down. This may not always be a bad thing: for example, plants may make their leaves curl up so that they lose less water during hot spells.
The surface area ratio will increase
Because evaporation happens at the surface.
The Arctic fox has a smaller surface area to volume ratio to minimize heat loss in its cold environment. A smaller ratio means less surface area through which heat can escape. In comparison, the British fox has a larger ratio to help dissipate heat in its more temperate climate.
As a cell becomes larger, its volume increases faster than its surface area. This results in a decrease in the surface area to volume ratio. A high surface area to volume ratio is important for efficient exchange of nutrients and waste with the cell's environment.
No. The surface to volume ratio of a sphere is always smaller than that of a cube. This is because the sphere has the smallest surface area compared to its volume, while the cube has the largest surface area compared to its volume.
Yes, as the cell size increases, the surface-to-volume ratio decreases. This is because an increase in size results in a smaller surface area relative to the volume of the cell. This can impact the cell's ability to efficiently exchange nutrients and waste products with its environment.
The surface area to volume ratio decreases - assuming the shape remains similar.
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
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.
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
The surface area to volume ratio increases when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane. This increase allows for more efficient exchange of materials with the surroundings because there is more surface area available for interactions.
Because evaporation happens at the surface.
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
The larger the surface area to volume ratio of a cell, the smaller its size (and vice versa).
It increases.
As a cell becomes larger, its volume increases faster than its surface area. This results in a decrease in the surface area to volume ratio. A high surface area to volume ratio is important for efficient exchange of nutrients and waste with the cell's environment.
This is because of the surface to volume ratio. A small mammal has a larger surface area, as compared to its volume, than a large mammal does, so a small mammal's surface area to volume ratio is bigger. A large surface to volume ratio causes things to pass into the organism and out of the organism more easily, so a mammal with a large surface to volume ratio (a small mammal) will lose heat more easily in a cold environment than a mammal with a small surface to volume ratio (a large mammal).
