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 surface to volume relate to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
How does surface-to-volume ratio relate to the size of the cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
How does surface to volume ratio relate to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
Which has the greater surface area one large cell or 27 smaller cells?
If the smaller cells' total volume is at least that of the larger cell then the smaller cells have the greater surface area.
What is the relationship between the surface area to volume ratio of a cell and its size?
The larger the surface area to volume ratio of a cell, the smaller its size (and vice versa).
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.
What happens to the surface area to volume ratio when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane?
The surface area to volume ratio will increase
The relationship of cell size?
If you are talking about the relationship of cell size with cell volume..The smaller the cell, the healthier. This is because cell volume is expressed in units to the third power. Cell surface area is expressed in units to the second power. Therefore, cell volume grows exponentially quicker than cell surface area. Smaller cells are at an advantage, so they can transport enough substances through its membranes to support its volume.

What happens to the volume and surface area of a cell as a cell becomes larger?
They both increase with increasing cell radius (if we model a cell as a sphere). However, the rate of increase of the surface area is in general slower (dA/dr = 8πr) compared to the rate of increase of the volume (dV/dr = 4πr2). This would mean that with increasing cell size, the surface area to volume ratio is becoming smaller and smaller, giving a cell less surface area for the transport of nutrients for a given unit volume.
True or False The smaller a cell is the more difficult it is for the cell to move enough materials across its cell membrane?
False. A smaller cell has a higher ratio of surface area to volume, making moving the amount of required nutrients simpler.
Which one is better for moving more nutrients in and out the cell surface or more volume?
more volume decreases the surface area of the cell thus making the distance of transporting nutrients in and out of the cell less. so more volume is better
