If the cell has a simple geometric shape, there are formulae that can be used. Otherwise you need to measure the surface area and the volume.
Larger cells will have a greater surface area-to-volume.
Cell size is limited by volume.Surface area to volume ratio (surface area / volume)Nucleo-cytoplasmic ratioFragility of cell membraneMechanical structures necessary to hold the cell together (and the contents of the cell in place)
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease. However, this scenario is extremely unlikely.
they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
cell division
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
to obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
Larger cells will have a greater surface area-to-volume.
Surface area to volume ratio
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.

The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease if its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area.
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease. However, this scenario is extremely unlikely.
It would help to know why what!
It increases.
