This only applies to larger mammals. The cerebral cortex is folded into many gyri (ridges) and sulci (furrows), which has allowed the cortex to expand in surface area without taking up much greater volume.

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?
As a cell increases in size the volume increases much faster than the surface area. The possible answer is C.
What increases the surface area of the brain?
The convolutions in the brain increase surface area. In simpler words, those lines and ridges in the brain are what increases the surface area.
If the volume of a cell increases its surface area will?
it increases
How does the surface area to volume ratio change as the cell size increases?
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 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 increases the surface área of the small intestine?
The surface is made up of many small wrinkled folds which increases the surface area.
What increases the surface area of the cerebral?
The cerebrum has many folds or wrinkles which increases the surface without increasing the volume
How does the surface area change compared to the volume as a cell gets larger?
Surface area increases as the square of the diameter, whereas the volume increases by the cube.
What happens to the cylinder's surface area if its radius is squared?
It remains the same or increases in 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.
As the length of a cell increases its volume increases faster than its?
Surface area.
As a cell becomes larger what happens to its surface area and volume?
The Volume increases faster than the Surface Area
