When a cell doubles in diameter cell membrane is multiplied by what?
When a cell doubles in diameter, the cell membrane surface area is multiplied by four. This is because the surface area of a sphere (or a cell in this case) is proportional to the square of its radius.
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 type of growth does cell produced by the vascular cambium increase the diameter of a plant's stem?
secondary xylem
If a cell's diameter is doubled will the cell require two times more nutrients and would have two times more wastes to excrete?
The amount of metabolic activity inside a cell is proportional to the volume, not the diameter, so if you doubled the diameter you would quadruple the metabolic activity, and hence the consumption of nutrients and the production of waste. So, yes.
A biologist photographs a cell in a microscope magnified at forty times the cell in the photo is 2 millimeters in diameter what is the true diameter of the cell in micrometers?
The true diameter of the cell can be calculated by dividing the diameter of the cell in the photo by the magnification. In this case, if the cell in the photo is 2 millimeters in diameter and is magnified 40 times, the true diameter of the cell is 2 mm / 40 = 0.05 mm = 50 micrometers.

Which cell has the smallest diameter?
the cell of bacteria.
Which cell is largest in diameter?
egg cell
When a spherical cell increases in diameter from 2um to 20 um by what factor does its surface area change?
The surface area will increase one hundred fold.
What is the diameter of a yeast cell?
a yeast cell of 3um
What is the critical relationship between cell volume and surface area?
The volume is proportional to the cube of the diameter, but the area, only to the square of the diameter. For example, if you double the diameter, the area will increase by a factor of 4, and the volume, by a factor of 8. Thus, the area/volume ratio will worsen, by a factor of 2.The volume is proportional to the cube of the diameter, but the area, only to the square of the diameter.

Why aren't there cells 1 foot in diameter or larger?
The reason there is a limit on the size of a single living cell is the mass to surface area ratio. The membrane is where oxygen is exchanged and molecules diffuse and are transported. A membrane will increase linearly with the diameter but the internal volume will increase to the cube of the diameter so at some point there is not enough membrane to service the large amount of living 'stuff' in the cytoplasm.
If the diameter of a spherical cell goes from 1 to 2 its surface are goes from 3 to?
If the diameter doubles (x 2), the surface area quadruples (x 4).So if the original surface area is 3 units, the new one will be 12 units.
