increases:
by approximately the square of the cube root of the volume increase
(that would be exact if the cell was a sphere).
Or, in other words,
if you double the size (diameter) of a cell.
its surface area increases by a factor of 4,
and it volume increases by a factor of 8.

As a cell increases in size the a. metabolic rate increases. b. surface area to volume ratio increases. c. volume increases and the surface area increases. d. surface area increases and the volume d?
As a cell increases in size the volume increases much faster than the surface area. The possible answer is C.
If the volume of a cell increases its surface area will?
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.
How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
As the cell grows larger the ratio of surface area to volume increases. Larger cell = more volume for the amount surface area.
Is as cell surface area increases cell volume increases faster true?
Yes
Does the volume of a cell grow more or less rapidly than the surface area?
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
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 cell's ratio of surface area to volume as the cell's volume increases more rapidly than its surface area?
The ratio decreases.
What happens to a cell's ratio of surface area to volume as the cell's volume increases more rapidly than surface area?
The ratio decreases.
Which cell has the greater surface area compared to its volume the large cell or one of the smaller cells?
A smaller cell has a higher surface area to volume ratio. A reason for this is volume is cubic (3D) and surface area is 2D so when surface area increases a little bit, the volume increases exponentially. And when the surface area shrinks a little bit, the volume decreases exponentially.
As the length of a cell increases its volume increases faster than its?
Surface area.
