∙ 12y agoVolume remains constant (as the two halves of the orange still equal one full volume). Surface area increases by the 2x the area of the circle created by the bisection of the orange.

∙ 12y agoWhen you cut an orange in half, the surface area increases while the volume stays the same. This results in an increase in the surface area to volume ratio because the surface area expands while the volume remains constant.
Because evaporation happens at the surface.
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease. However, this scenario is extremely unlikely.
As a cell grows, its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area. This results in a decreased surface area-to-volume ratio. A decreased surface area-to-volume ratio may limit the cell's ability to efficiently exchange nutrients and waste with its environment.
they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
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.

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.
It increases.
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.
For a cube with edge length, L. Surface area = 6L2. Volume = L3. So ratio of Surface Area / Volume = 6 / L. Therefore, as the side length, L, increases, the ratio will decrease.
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.
