Larger cells will have a greater surface area-to-volume.
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 .
The rate at which the cell increases in size depends on the DNA. The ratio of the surface area (calculated: length x width x # of sides) is divided by the cell volume (calculated: length x width x height). THE VOLUME OF THE CELL INCREASES MORE RAPIDLY THAN THE SURFACE AREA, CAUSING THE RATIO OF SURFACE AREA OVER VOLUME TO DECREASE. This decrease causes cell malfunction. If the cell volume increases too much, then the ratio will decrease causing problems for the cell's regular functions.
Divide the total surface area of the cell by the cell's volume.
The surface-area-to-volume-ratio
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
they're cousins
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
Larger cells will have a greater surface area-to-volume.
The surface area to volume ratio will increase
As the cell grows larger the ratio of surface area to volume increases. Larger cell = more volume for the amount surface area.
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 .
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.

The ratio decreases.
