In general, the volume will also increase. If the shape remains the same, the volume will increase faster than the surface area. Specifically, the surface area is proportional to the square of an object's diameter (or any other linear measurement), while the volume is proportional to the cube of any linear measurement.

As a cell becomes larger what happens to its surface area and volume?

The Volume increases faster than the Surface Area


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.


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.


What happens to mass r when volume increases?

If the volume of an object increases, and the mass remains the same, the density of the object will decrease. This is because density is calculated as mass divided by volume, so if volume increases and mass stays the same, density decreases.

It increases.


What happens the mass of an object increases but the volume stays the same?

The density of the object increases. This means that the object's particles are more tightly packed together. If the object is a solid, it will become heavier for its size.


What happens to a cell's ratio of surface area to volume as the cell's volume increases more rapidly than its surface area?

The ratio decreases.

The ratio decreases.


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.


The volume increases much more rapidly than the surface?

This is because volume is cubic, while surface area is squared. As a result, when an object increases in size, its volume increases at a faster rate than its surface area. This phenomenon is why small organisms, with a large surface area relative to their volume, can exchange gases and nutrients more efficiently than larger organisms.
