How does the surface area change compared to the volume as a cell gets larger?

Surface area increases as the square of the diameter, whereas the volume increases by the cube.


Consider a balloon that is being inflated As the balloon increases in size the area of its surface increases Each time the balloon's diameter doubles what do you expect for the change in the area?

For any geometric figure, surface area is proportional to (linear dimensions)2 .As the balloon's diameter doubles, its area increases by the factor of (2)2 = 4 .


When a spherical cell increases in diameter from 2 um to 20 um by what factor does it's surface area change?

It depends on what a female's breath smells like, how big her mouth is when she opens it really wide, what her tongue looks like, smells like, and feels like when she gives you a Big lick (depends on how warm, wet, and slimy her tongue and saliva is).


When a spherical cell increases in diameter from 2 micrometers to 20 micrometers by what factor does its surface area change?

If the diameter doubles, the surface area quadruples (x 4). So if the original surface area is 3 units, new one will be 12 units!soooo the answer is 12 units


When the cell size increases does the surface-to-volume ratio change?

Yes.


How does temperature change with depth below earths surface?

temperature increases with depth


How do you alter the reaction rate of a chemical change?

Heat - increases it Increased stirring - increases it larger surface area - increases it catalyst - usually increases it and the reverse of the above slows the reaction down


How does the surface area change when a large cell gets smaller but has the same total volume?

The surface must get more spherical. When it reaches a perfect sphere the surface area cannot be reduced without also reducing the volume.


Which describes surface tension of water when detergent is added A increases B decreases C becomes zero D shows no change?

What happens to the surface area of a cylinder if the height is doubled and the diameter of the base is not change?

The surface area of the 'wall' doubles, but the base areas remain the same.


Is there change in internal diameter of hollow cylinder on heating it?

Yes. If, as for most common substances, the outside diameter of the cylinder increases on heating, the inside diameter will increase by the same percentage. This fact is used to shrink-fit pulleys to shafts.


How does the gravity of mars vary with its mass?

-- If the mass of Mars increases, then its surface gravity also increases. -- If the mass of Mars decreases, then its surface gravity also decreases. -- So long as its radius does not change, the acceleration due to gravity on or near the planet's surface is directly proportional to its mass.
