Here, pi = 3.14, r=radius, h=height. Closed cylinder : VOL: pi*r*r*h SA: 2*pi*r*h + 2*pi*r*r (essentially, one "side" of cylinder and top + bottom circles) Open-topped cylinder: VOL: same as above SA: 4*pi*r*h + pi*r*r (two "sides" to cylinder now but only bottom circle remains) Both-ends open cylinder: VOL: same as above (though such a object won't retain anything) SA: 4*pi*r*h (only two "sides" to cylinder)

∙ 14y agoYou use the formula for surface area divided by the formula for volume and simplify.
Surface area of a cylinder= 2 pi r2 + 2 pi r h
The volume is pi * r2 * h
So the ratio is (2 pi r2 + 2 pi r h)/(pi * r2 * h)
All that is left is to simplify by factoring out an r and Pi for example.

Calculate surface area to volume ratio cylinder?
2*(r+h)/rh where r is the radius and h the height of the cylinder.
Which statements about the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume is are correct?
Larger cells will have a greater surface area-to-volume.
How does surface area describe a cell?
Surface area of cell is divided volume of cell to get surface to volume ratio . If surface area is 8 cm2 and volume is 2 cm2 . The ratio would be 4:1 .
What is the area to cell's outer surface in relationship to it's volume?
The surface-area-to-volume-ratio
What is meant by surface area to volume ratio?
Surface area to volume ratio is defined as the amount of surface area per unit volume of either a single object or a collection of objects. The calculation of this measurement is important in figuring out the rate at which a chemical reaction will proceed.
A sphere with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 0.15m-1 a right circular cylinder with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 2.2m-1?
The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.
How can you obtain a cell's ratio of surface area to volume?
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
How do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?
The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.
How can you find a cell's survace area to volume ratio?
to obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
A sphere with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 0.3 m-1. A right circular cylinder with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 2.1 m-1. What results would you expect if these two models w?
it would be faster for the right cylinder
What happens to the surface area to volume ratio when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane?
The surface area to volume ratio will increase
Calculate surface area to volume ratio cylinder?
2*(r+h)/rh where r is the radius and h the height of the cylinder.
Consider the following geometric solids. A sphere with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 0.3 m-1. A right circular cylinder with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 2.1 m-1. What resul?
The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.
What 3 things limit cell size?
DNA, Diffusion, and Surface Area to Volume Ratio.
What happens to a cell's ratio of surface area to volume as the volume increases more rapidly than its surface area?
As volume increases surface area increase, but the higher the volume the less surface area in the ratio. For example. A cube 1mmx1mmx1mm has volume of 1mm3 surface area of 6mm2 which is a ration of 1:6 and a cube of 2mmx2mmx2mm has a volume of 8mm3 and surface area of 24mm2 which is a ratio of 1:3.
What is ratio of surface area to volume?
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
What is the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere with the following measurements surface area 300m2 volume 500m3?
0.6 is the surface area to volume ratio.
