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 is happens to a cells volume and surface area as it grows bigger?
As a cell grows bigger, its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area. This results in a decreased surface area-to-volume ratio, which can impact the cell's ability to efficiently exchange nutrients and waste with its environment. This can lead to challenges in transporting materials in and out of the cell.
What happens to a cells surface area to volume ratio as it gets smaller?
It increases.
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.
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.
Why are groups of a small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out?
they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
What will happen if a cells volume grows faster then its surface area?
Cells volume dont really get any bigger. They do sort of when waste from the vacuole gets stored. If you need anymore help on cells just ask more questions because im good at cells.
What is ratio of surface area to volume?
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
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.
What happens to the surface area volume ratio of you increase the volume of a cell?
The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger.Thus, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membranefast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume.When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function.That is why cells are so small.
What is the surface area to volume ratio?
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
What is the relationship between a cells surfaces area and it's volume?
The relationship is usually expressed as a ratio: surface area divided by volume. Small cells have a large surface area to volume ratio, whilst large cells have a much smaller value. This is important because the cell absorbs the things it needs, and gets rid of what it doesn't need, through the surface. If the cell gets too large, not enough exchange can take place to keep the cell going, so there is a natural limit on the size to which a cell can grow.
Do cells of gut make the surface of the cell bigger?
No
