How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?

As the cell grows larger the ratio of surface area to volume increases. Larger cell = more volume for the amount surface area.


How is the volume of a cell related to its surface area?

Although they do not increase at the same rate, as the surface area increases the volume increases slowly.


How is an increase of diameter of a cell related to the increase in surface area and volume?

If all other dimensions of the cell remain the same, both surface area and volume should increase if the diameter is increased.


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.


How does surface area describe a cell?
