What happens to the surface area to volume ratio when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane?
The surface area to volume ratio will increase
What 3 things limit cell size?
DNA, Diffusion, and Surface Area to Volume Ratio.
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.
The smaller the cell the smaller its ratio of surface area to volume?
It really depends on the cell. Different cells have different ratios, as each cell has a relatively unique length, width, and height. To find the surface area to volume ratio, divide the cell's surface area by the cell's volume.surface area= 6 x (length x length)volume= length x width x heightratio= surface area/volumeI really hope this helps, because besides the fact that unhelpful answers are frustrating, I have also just wasted my time by writing this and yours by having you read this!
How does cell growth affect the cell's surface-to volume ratio?
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.
What is the unit for surface area to volume ratio?
1/length
What is the relationship between cube size and surface area-to-volume ratio?
The ratio of the surface area of a cube to its volume is inversely proportional to the length of its side.
Describe what happens to the surface area to volume ratio for larger and larger cubes?
For a cube with edge length, L. Surface area = 6L2. Volume = L3. So ratio of Surface Area / Volume = 6 / L. Therefore, as the side length, L, increases, the ratio will decrease.
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 do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?
The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.
What is the surface area to volume ratio for a cube that has a length of 8 mm?
384 mm2
What is meant by surface area to volume ratio?
Surface area to volume ratio is defined as the amount of surface area per unit volume of either a single object or a collection of objects. The calculation of this measurement is important in figuring out the rate at which a chemical reaction will proceed.
When the volume of a cube increases does the ratio of its surface area to its volume decrease?
If the length of the cube's side is 'S', then the surface area is 6S2 and the volume is S3 .The ratio of surface area to volume is 6S2/S3 = 6/S .This number is inversely proportional to 'S'. So as the side increases ...causing the volume to increase ... the ratio does decrease, yes.
What is the ratio of surface area 300 square and volume 500 cube?
The ratio is 0.6 per unit of length.
How can you find a cell's survace area to volume ratio?
to obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
What is the surface area to volume ration of a cube with a side length of 6?
The surface area to volume ratio is 1:1 Surface area = (6*6) * 6 = 216 Volume = 6*6*6 = 216
What happens to the surface area to volume ratio when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane?
The surface area to volume ratio will increase
