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.

∙ 9y agoThe surface-area-to-volume ratio is the amount of surface area per unit volume of an object. The greater the diameter of the object, the less surface area it has relative to its volume.

∙ 14y agoYou have to know what kind of solid shape you're talking about.
For a cube with edges of length 's', the ratio is [ 6/s ].
For a sphere with radius of 'R', the ratio is [ 3/R ].

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
Why do things that have a bigger surface area volume ratio dry faster than things with a smaller surface area volume ratio?
Because evaporation happens at the surface.
Why does a sphere have the lowest surface area to volume ratio?
because the surface area is spread out over the volume of mass
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
What happens to a cell ratio of surface area to volume as the cells volume increases rapidly than its surface area?
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease if its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area.
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.
