If you increase the radius, the volume will increase more than the area.

As the radius of a sphere gets larger which of the spheres measurements increases more the surface area or the volume?
The volume increases faster. (proportional to the cube of the radius)The surface area increases slower. (proportional to the square of the radius)
What will happen to a spheres volume if the radius is tripled?
The volume increases 27-fold.
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
As a cell becomes larger what happens to its surface area and volume?
The Volume increases faster than the Surface Area
How does the surface area to volume ratio change as the cell size increases?
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 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 is the relationship between rate of ion exchange and surface to volume ratio?
As the surface to volume ratio increases the rate of in exchange increases too.
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.
Would a spherical protist or a cylindrical protist have a higher surface area to volume ratio?
A cylindrical protist has a higher surface are to volume ratio. This is because of the physical properties of spheres (some rather complicated math proves that spheres hold the most volume for their area).
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.
Does the volume of a cell grow more or less rapidly than the surface area?
volume increases faster than the surface area.
