As a cell gets larger do both its volume and surface area increase by the same amount?why or why not?

Answer 1

To make it easier to understand, if you had a gigantic cell that was shaped like a perfect cube one inch on a side, if it grew to two inches on a side the surface area would increase from six square inches to sixteen square inches. The volume would increase from one cubic inch to eight cubic inches.

Answer 2

No, as a cell gets larger, the surface area to volume ratio gets smaller forcing the cell to divide.

Reason: Surface Area to Volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger because volume grows faster then surface area causing the ratio to get smaller as the cell gets larger.

Answer 3

This is not a question witha straight forward question with a clear clear answer. The answer is no, they do not increase by the same amount. Cells do not maintain a constant shape. But even if they were perfectly spherical, volume is a function of a radius cubed, whereas surface area is a function of radius squared.

Answer 4

No. the surface to volume ratio is 2:3. That is, as the surface is increasing by twice, L * W, the volume is increasing thrice, that is L * W * height, depth, or whatever.

Answer 5

for diffusion u prefer a extensive floor area in comparison with the volumes, so for cellular shape extra helpful to have a bigger floor area to quantity eg pancake shape. that solutions all of the questions different than the final. the circulatory equipment is mandatory in any different case all of the outer cells will take all of the foodstuff and the different on the returned wont get any. the circulatory equipment additionally quickens the entire technique

Answer 6

No, a cell doesn't get larger (or else it would never stop growing!). It multiplies into more cells. So the other cells (daughter cells) are the same exact one as the one that they came from.

Answer 7

this is confusing
