Which statements about the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume is are correct?

As cell volume increases, the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume decreases. This is because the surface area increases by a square factor while the volume increases by a cube factor. A higher surface area to volume ratio is more favorable for efficient nutrient exchange and waste removal in cells.


Which 2 things must be compared to explain why almost all cells are small?

The surface area to volume ratio of cells must be compared to explain why almost all cells are small. As cells grow larger, their volume increases faster than their surface area, leading to inefficiencies in nutrient and waste exchange. Smaller cells have a higher surface area to volume ratio, allowing for more efficient cellular processes.


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 happens to a cell ratio of surface area to volume as the cells volume increases more rapidly than its surface are?

The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease. However, this scenario is extremely unlikely.


How can you obtain the cells ratio of surface area to volume?

If the cell has a simple geometric shape, there are formulae that can be used. Otherwise you need to measure the surface area and the volume.


What happens to a cells surface area to volume ratio as it gets smaller?

It increases.
