As a cell grows its volume increases more than its surface area. Page 202 in McGraw-Hill Biologoy Book. Grade 10.
true
True! The volume increases more rapidly than the surface area.
volume increases faster than the surface area.
If the cell's surface-to-volume ratio got too small as a result of the volume increasing faster than the surface area, the cell would no tbe able to get the nutrients it needs to survive and would die.
Its Volume Increases faster than its Surface area.

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.
As a cell grows its volume increases more than its surface area. Cells are limited in size because of the cell membrane As the cell gets bigger the outside is unable to keep up with its inside. Because of this, when the length doubles the surface area gets 4 times larger.
The ratio decreases.
The ratio decreases.
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease if its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area.
