Question

if cells are cut in half, are their volumes cut in half? explain

if cells are cut in half, are their surfae areas cut in half? explain

Answer 1

Now this is more of a biology question, but oh well.

The answer to the first one is yes. Presuming it really was "cut in half", then the volume was halfed as well.

The answer to the second, not always. I'm sure somewhere out there there is a cell whose perfect fissure along some angle exactly halves the Surface Area, but for most shapes, cells included, SA won't be halved.

Answer 2

If cells are cut in half, their volumes are definitely cut in half. Their surface areas should be cut in half, but the fact that you are cutting it in half produces more surface area which should be proportional to the size of each fragment.

Answer 3

volume's are cut in half. the surface is not cut in half.

surface is the outside layer. think, where you made the cut is also a surface. you cut a piece of bread in two, and you get...two pieces and where you cut it, there is not a new surface. hard to explain without pictures
