Yes. There are ways to do that, but it depends on what you wish to change the surface area of. Changing the surface area of something like, say, a shotput is difficult, but changing the surface area of a balloon can be accomplished by merely blowing it up (more) or deflating it.
What else can I help you with?
How does an increase in surface area help a solute dissolve more quickly?
Not necessarily just changing the surface area causes the rate to change. Changing the ratio of surface area volume changes the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent. If the surface area is larger and the volume of a solute is smaller or the same, then the rate at which the solute dissolves in a solvent increases. If the surface area is smaller and the volume of the solute is larger or the same, then the rate at which the solute dissolves in a solvent decreases.
What happens to the volume of a cell as the surface area increases?
Area is proportional to a linear dimension squared, whereas volume is proportional to the linear dimension cubed. Thus, as a cell (or any object) increases in size, its volume grows proportionately more than its surface area.
What happens to the surface area and volume of a cell as it 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.
As a cell becomes larger what happens to its surface area and volume?
The Volume increases faster than the Surface Area
Is the question the amount of water in a lake length area surface area or volume?
Volume
How does cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
because it has the surface area of volume
How can you obtain a cell's ratio of surface area to volume?
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
How do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?
The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.
How does it surface area to volume ratio change as the cell gets bigger?
As a cell gets bigger, its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area. This results in a decreased surface area to volume ratio. A smaller surface area to volume ratio can affect the cell's ability to efficiently exchange nutrients and wastes with its environment.
How can you find a cell's survace area to volume ratio?
to obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
As a cell grows larger, its volume increases faster than its surface area, leading to a decrease in the surface area-to-volume ratio. This can limit the cell's ability to efficiently exchange materials with its environment, affecting its overall functioning.
How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grews large?
It will decrease. In a larger cell, you have less surface area per volume.
What happens to a cell's ratio of surface area to volume as the volume increases more rapidly than its surface area?
As volume increases surface area increase, but the higher the volume the less surface area in the ratio. For example. A cube 1mmx1mmx1mm has volume of 1mm3 surface area of 6mm2 which is a ration of 1:6 and a cube of 2mmx2mmx2mm has a volume of 8mm3 and surface area of 24mm2 which is a ratio of 1:3.
What is ratio of surface area to volume?
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
What is the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere with the following measurements surface area 300m2 volume 500m3?
0.6 is the surface area to volume ratio.
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.
How does the surface area to volume ratio change as the cell size increases?
It decreases. As the dimensions increase by a number, the surface area increases by the same number to the power of 2, but the volume increases by the same number to the power of 3, meaning that the volume increases faster than the surface area.
