blastulation
cell division
Larger surface area can be favourable to increased rated of exchange whereas greater cell volume can be unfavourabe. Being a three dimensional structure the rate in which volume grows is higher than the rate of surface area growth.
To increase surface area, a cell will have to grow. But most cells have restraints that interfere with too much growth. Only cancer cells don't bide by the rules.
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.
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.
Think of surface area as your skin and volume as all the contents inside your body. So they relate because surface area can hold volume or volume could be inside the surface area.
they're cousins
volume and surface area
blastulation
cell division
Volume grows exponentially in relation to surface area as both expand to allow an organism to grow. As such, because it takes more mass to fill the surface area, growth slows down at larger sizes.

Vaporization occur at the boiling point and from the total volume of the liquid.Evaporation occur at any temperature but only from the surface of the liquid.
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
