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 increases when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane. This increase allows for more efficient exchange of materials with the surroundings because there is more surface area available for interactions.


How can you increase the surface to volume ratio of a basketball and a tennis ball?

The tennis ball. But do you know why? The anser to that is in the relationship between the fomula for a shere's volum and that of it's surface area. Area is a radius squared function whereas volume is a radius cubed function.


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?

increase as well, but at a slower rate than the volume. This is due to the relationship between surface area and volume in a cell. As the cell grows, its surface area to volume ratio decreases, causing it to become less efficient at exchanging nutrients and wastes with its environment.


Which typically increase faster as a cell grows surface area or volume?

As a cell grows, its volume increases faster than its surface area. This is because volume increases cubically with size, while surface area only increases quadratically. This can lead to challenges in nutrient exchange and waste removal for larger cells.

An adaptation to increase the surface area of a part of a cell that is involved in cellular respiration?

Microvilli are small protrusions found on the surface of cells, particularly in the intestines and kidneys, that increase surface area for absorption. These structures contain enzymes and transport proteins important for cellular respiration.


How does surface to volume ratio affects heat loss?

The surface-to-volume ratio is a mathematical relationship between the volume of an object and the amount of surface area it has. This ratio often plays an important role in biological structures. An increase in the radius will increase the surface area by a power of two, but increase the volume by a power of three.


How do you increase the surface area withour increasing the volume?

The smallest surface area for a given volume is a sphere. A spherical object such as a balloon represents the minimum energy required to maintain the volume of the material within. A balloon filled with water if stretched will increase the surface area of the balloon without altering the volume as water is non-compressible. Any alternative shape that encloses the same volume will have a larger surface area than a sphere. A perfect example is a drop of liquid in a zero gravity environment which will vibrate when intially created but will gradually slow to a stop and take the form of a perfect sphere.


What the relationships between the surface area of an object and the volume as the object increases in size?

They both increase. The rate of increase of the surface area is equivalent to the rate of increase of the volume raised to the power 2/3.


Which of the spheres measurements increases more the surface area or the volume?

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


Why do alveoli have folds in them?

increase surface area for a given volume


What are adaptations for the surface area to volume ratio?

When an animal for example an elephant has a large surface area to volume ratio (big animals) it can lose heat easier which is an adaptation to survive the climate in which they live


What happens to the surface volume of a cube if the length of each edge is doubled?

the volume increase 8 times


How is an increase of diameter of a cell related to the increase in surface area and volume?

As the diameter of a cell increases, its surface area increases at a slower rate compared to its volume. This means that a larger cell has a smaller surface area-to-volume ratio, which can affect the efficiency of nutrient exchange and waste removal. Cells with lower surface area-to-volume ratios may struggle to adequately support their metabolic needs.


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 increases when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane. This increase allows for more efficient exchange of materials with the surroundings because there is more surface area available for interactions.


What happens to the volume of an object as its surface area increases?

In general, the volume will also increase. If the shape remains the same, the volume will increase faster than the surface area. Specifically, the surface area is proportional to the square of an object's diameter (or any other linear measurement), while the volume is proportional to the cube of any linear measurement.


How is the volume of a cell related to its surface area?

Although they do not increase at the same rate, as the surface area increases the volume increases slowly.
