If the sides of a cell double in length its surface area becomes?

As a cell grows its volume increases more than its surface area. Cells are limited in size because of the cell membrane As the cell gets bigger the outside is unable to keep up with its inside. Because of this, when the length doubles the surface area gets 4 times larger.

Is the sides of a cell double in length its volume increases by?
eight
What are sides of a double helix made of?
the sides of a double helix are composed of a chain alternating between a phosphate and a deoxyribose (5 carbon) sugar.
What molecules form the sides of the double helix?
Phosphate and sugar.
How does cell growth affect the cell's surface-to volume ratio?
The rate at which the cell increases in size depends on the DNA. The ratio of the surface area (calculated: length x width x # of sides) is divided by the cell volume (calculated: length x width x height). THE VOLUME OF THE CELL INCREASES MORE RAPIDLY THAN THE SURFACE AREA, CAUSING THE RATIO OF SURFACE AREA OVER VOLUME TO DECREASE. This decrease causes cell malfunction. If the cell volume increases too much, then the ratio will decrease causing problems for the cell's regular functions.
What make up both side of DNA double helix ladder?
The sides of the DNA double helix ladder is composed of alternating phosphate groups and deoxyribose sugars.
If a cube has a surface area of 600cm2 then what is the length of 1 of its sides?
The length of one of its sides is 10 cm.
As you double the length of the sides what happens to the perimeter?
As you double the length of all sides, the perimeter doubles.The area grows by (2 x 2) = 4 times.
Is the sides of a cell double in length its volume increases by?
eight
What is The Perimeter if The Length was 40 and The Width was 10?
If you're talking about a rectangle, then the answer is 100. There are 2 sides that have 40 as the length, and double that length is 80. There are 2 sides that have 10 as the width, and double that width is 20. 80 + 20 = 100.
How does one determine the surface area of a rectangular prism?
To determine the surface area of a rectangular prism, the two sides, adjacent sides, and ends of the prism must be added up. To do this, the sides are the product of the prism's length and height, the adjacent sides the width and height, and the ends the product of the length and width.
What happens to the surface area of a cube when it triples?
If the length of the sides triples, the surface area increases 9-fold.
What is the surface area with the numbers 6M 2M 5M?
The surface area depends on the shape, not just the length of sides.
What happens if you double the side lengths of a regular triangle?
You get a regular triangle whose sides are double the length.
What is Surface area and volume of cube formula?
For a cube with sides of length x, surface area = 6x2 and volume = x3.
If the length of the sides of a cube is decreased is the surface area decreased?
Yes, if it remains a cube.
Does the perimeter of a rectangle change when you double the dimensions?
Yes. The perimeter is a measure of the combined length of all the sides. If you double the lengths of the sides then naturally this will also necessarilychange the perimeter (it will double the perimeter).
How do you find the edge length of a cube when you only have the surface area?
ok, so think about it. a cube has 6 sides. The surface area is the area of the surface of all 6 sides combined, so you divide the surface area by 6. This gives you the area of each square on each side. Then square root the answer because the area of a square is the side length squared. Now you have the edge length!
