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.
Does the volume of a cell grow more or less rapidly than the surface area?
volume increases faster than the surface area.
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 more rapidly than its surface are?
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease. However, this scenario is extremely unlikely.
True or flase as a cell grows in size its volume increases much more rapidly than its surface area?
True! The volume increases more rapidly than the surface area.
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.
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.
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.
Does the volume of a cell grow more or less rapidly than the surface area?
volume increases faster than the 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.
What happens to a cells surface as a volume ratio as a cell gets bigger?
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.
Why Does the surface area affects the ability to get materials in and out of the cell?
Because to get in and out you have to cross the cell's surface and if it has a bigger area more can happen than with a smaller area. To increase the surface area volume ratio, the cell can reduce in size or change its shape.
Why do cells get so big than divide?
Cells are dependent on the ration between surface area and volume. as the cels get bigger the ratio decreases, meaning that the volume gets larger faster than does the surface area. they cant survive past a certain point, because the nutrients that permeate the membrane have a harder time diffusing throughout a larger volume with a comparatively smaller surface area. this is why cells divide: the volume splits in half, but the surface area stays the same.
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 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.
As a cell becomes larger what happens to its surface area and volume?
The Volume increases faster than the Surface Area
Is the surface area of an object be smaller than the volume?
It can be.
