Describe what is meant by each of the following terms cell volume cell surface area ratio of surface area to volume?
A cell's volume is the amount of material that can fit into the cell. A cell's surface area is the total amount of material that makes up the outside of the cell. The ratio of surface area to volume is the amount of surface area per unit volume of an object or collection of objects.
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.
How will surface area to volume ratios of a small cell compare to those of a large cell?
A small cell will have a larger surface-to-volume ratio.
What is the surface area to volume ratio in a cell and why is it importa NT?
The surface area to volume ratio is how big the cell's membrane's area is compared to the volume of everything inside the cell. If the volume becomes too large, the cell will not be able to release waste or receive necessary nutrients as easily. Plus, the cell's DNA can't keep up with the cell.
How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
As a cell grows larger, its volume increases faster than its surface area, leading to a decrease in the surface area-to-volume ratio. This can limit the cell's ability to efficiently exchange materials with its environment, affecting its overall functioning.
What is the best unit to measure a cell membrane?
volume
What Produces no change in cell volume because of osmosis?
An isotonic solution produces no change in cell volume because it has the same concentration of solutes as the cell. This balanced concentration prevents the movement of water in or out of the cell, maintaining its volume.
Which statements about the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume is are correct?
As cell volume increases, the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume decreases. This is because the surface area increases by a square factor while the volume increases by a cube factor. A higher surface area to volume ratio is more favorable for efficient nutrient exchange and waste removal in cells.
Describe cell volume cell surface area ratio of surface area to volume?
Look in the book broseff.
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 cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
because it has the surface area of volume
How does nerves cell tune down the volume of signals?
The nerve cell tune down the volume of signals by contracting.
