Explain the relationship between cell surface area and volume as a cell grows larger?
As the volume of a cell grows, the surface area grows but not as quickly.
How does surface area to volume ratio of a cell affect rate of diffusion?
The surface area to volume ratio of a cell affects the rate of diffusion in that the higher the ratio, the faster the rate of diffusion. This is a directly proportional relationship.
When a spherical cell increases in diameter from 2um to 20 um by what factor does its surface area change?
The surface area will increase one hundred fold.
Why do solvent particles flow into the cell when the initial volume is below 50 percent?
I believe it is all to do with diffusion.The solvent particles will move from an area of high concentration to the area of low concentration (the cell).
If the diameter of a spherical cell goes from 1 to 2 its surface are goes from 3 to?
If the diameter doubles (x 2), the surface area quadruples (x 4).So if the original surface area is 3 units, the new one will be 12 units.
If a cell's surface area is 6 cm squared by 3 and it'svolume is 1 cm squared by 3 then what is its ratio of surface area to volume?
6:1
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.
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 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 .
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 does cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
because it has the surface area of volume
Describe cell volume cell surface area ratio of surface area to volume?
Look in the book broseff.
What happens to the volume of a cell as the surface area increases?
Area is proportional to a linear dimension squared, whereas volume is proportional to the linear dimension cubed. Thus, as a cell (or any object) increases in size, its volume grows proportionately more than its surface area.
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 would you calculate the surface area t volume ratio?
Divide the total surface area of the cell by the cell's volume.
What happens the surface to volume ratio when the cell becomes larger?
When cells get smaller, the volume (as well as mass) decreases faster than the surface area so the surface:volume increases. Cells with a high surface:volume are more effective in receiving nutrients through diffusion. A cell (assume perfect sphere) with radius 2 has a surface area of 16pi and volume of 32pi/3. A cell with radius 3 has a surface area of 36pi and volume of 108pi/3. Also relatively speaking, volume can be thought of as y=x3 and surface area as y=x2. When there is a change in x, the change is more dramatic in the volume, so small cells have high ratios and large cells have low ratios.
