If a cell's size increases will its volume increase much slower than the surface area?
A1 If you simplify the image of a cell to that of a sphere, then you can use the equations for working out the volume or surface area as reference. The volume of a sphere = (4/3)*pi*(r^3), that is four thirds of pi multiplied by the radius of the sphere cubed. The surface area of a sphere = 4*pi*(r^2), that is four pi multiplied by the radius of the sphere squared. You can equate these to each other to find the relationship of volume to surface area. Deriving this, you get the equation that (Surface Area^2) = 24*pi*Volume. That is, as the area increases, the volume increases at an exponential rate. So, in answer to your question, the volume increases more quickly than the surface area. A2 Something odd about lines 7-9 above. You can't equate the volume to the area. What you can say is that V = A x r/3, so the conclusion is right. What you should really do is use differential calculus: V = 4/3 x pi x r3, therefore dV/dr = 12/3 x pi x r2. A = 4 x pi x r2, therefore dA/dr = 8 x pi x r.
So the rate of increase of A is proportional to r, whilst that of V is proportional to r2

How is an increase of diameter of a cell related to the increase in surface area and volume?
As the diameter of a cell increases, its surface area increases at a slower rate compared to its volume. This means that a larger cell has a smaller surface area-to-volume ratio, which can affect the efficiency of nutrient exchange and waste removal. Cells with lower surface area-to-volume ratios may struggle to adequately support their metabolic needs.
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.
What happens to the surface of the cell as the volume of the cell increases?
As the volume of a cell increases, the surface area of the cell also increases, but at a slower rate. This can lead to a decrease in the surface area-to-volume ratio of the cell. A decreased surface area-to-volume ratio can impact the cell's ability to efficiently exchange materials with its environment, potentially affecting its overall functioning.
How does the surface area to volume ratio change as the cell size increases?
As the cell size increases, the surface area to volume ratio decreases. This is because the volume of the cell increases at a faster rate than its surface area. A low surface area to volume ratio can impact the cell's ability to efficiently exchange nutrients, gases, and waste with its environment.
What happens to volume as temperature changes?
if volume of a gas increases temperature also increases
If the volume of a cell increases its surface area will?
increase as well, but at a slower rate than the volume. This is due to the relationship between surface area and volume in a cell. As the cell grows, its surface area to volume ratio decreases, causing it to become less efficient at exchanging nutrients and wastes with its environment.

As a cell increases in size the a. metabolic rate increases. b. surface area to volume ratio increases. c. volume increases and the surface area increases. d. surface area increases and the volume d?
d. surface area increases and the volume does not increase at the same rate, leading to a decrease in surface area to volume ratio.
As the radius of a sphere gets larger which of the spheres measurements increases more the surface area or the volume?
The volume increases faster. (proportional to the cube of the radius)The surface area increases slower. (proportional to the square of the radius)
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.
Which of the spheres measurements increases more the surface area or the volume?
If you increase the radius, the volume will increase more than the area.

What the relationships between the surface area of an object and the volume as the object increases in size?
They both increase. The rate of increase of the surface area is equivalent to the rate of increase of the volume raised to the power 2/3.
When the volume of a cell increases its surface area?
increases: by approximately the square of the cube root of the volume increase (that would be exact if the cell was a sphere). Or, in other words, if you double the size (diameter) of a cell. its surface area increases by a factor of 4, and it volume increases by a factor of 8.
What happens to a cells surface as a volume ratio as a cell gets bigger?
It decreases. As the dimensions increase by a number, the surface area increases by the same number to the power of 2, but the volume increases by the same number to the power of 3, meaning that the volume increases faster than the surface area.
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.
