How does surface to volume ratio relate to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
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.
What 3 things limit cell size?
DNA, Diffusion, and Surface Area to Volume Ratio.
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
A cell's volume grows faster than its surface area so if cell gets too large what would happen?
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.
How does surface to volume ratio to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
How does surface-to-volume ratio relate to the size of the cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
How does surface to volume ratio relate to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
Why do things that have a bigger surface area volume ratio dry faster than things with a smaller surface area volume ratio?
Because evaporation happens at the surface.
how does surface to volume relate to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
How does Surface area to volume ratio affect the rate of transpiration?
Bigger the SA:V ratio , transpiration sucks.
How does cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
because it has the surface area of volume
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.
When the cell size increases does the surface-to-volume ratio change?
Yes.
What is the relationship between the percent volume not reached by the stain and the surface area-to-volume ratio?
The relationship between the percent volume (not reached by the stain) and the surface area-to-volume ratio would be that the bigger the agar cube size (surface area to volume ratio), the bigger the percent volume. This is true because resources need to travel a farther distance through the cell ("cover more ground", so to speak) in order to be evenly distributed through the cell.
Why do larger animals keep their body heat better than smaller animals?
This is because of the surface to volume ratio. A small mammal has a larger surface area, as compared to its volume, than a large mammal does, so a small mammal's surface area to volume ratio is bigger. A large surface to volume ratio causes things to pass into the organism and out of the organism more easily, so a mammal with a large surface to volume ratio (a small mammal) will lose heat more easily in a cold environment than a mammal with a small surface to volume ratio (a large mammal).
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.
