surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
For example, the amount of nutrients a cell can absorb are proportional to its surface area.
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
No. In fact, if they retain their combined volume, their surface area would increase.

Surface area is more important to cells because it determines how fast a cell's metabolism is and whether it can survive or not. More volume means more energy to run a cells' processes and transporting. By having a smaller surface area, the materials can be transported faster so that it can quickly metabolize and continue to survive.
A sufficiently high ratio of surface area to volume is especially important in cells that exchange a lot of material with their surroundings.
You need to:* Calculate the surface area * Calculate the volume * Divide the surface area by the volume
Larger cells will have a greater surface area-to-volume.
Cell size is limited by volume.Surface area to volume ratio (surface area / volume)Nucleo-cytoplasmic ratioFragility of cell membraneMechanical structures necessary to hold the cell together (and the contents of the cell in place)
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease if its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area.
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
because the diffusion of a cell. and the volume surface area of the cell.
The relationship is usually expressed as a ratio: surface area divided by volume. Small cells have a large surface area to volume ratio, whilst large cells have a much smaller value. This is important because the cell absorbs the things it needs, and gets rid of what it doesn't need, through the surface. If the cell gets too large, not enough exchange can take place to keep the cell going, so there is a natural limit on the size to which a cell can grow.
