Q

Compare volume, surface area and surface area to volume ratio in smaller cells and bigger cells

A

Small cell: SA=12.57 units squared, V=4.189 units cubed, SA/V is greater

Big cell: SA=1257, V=4189 units cubed, SA/V is smaller

Big cell is 10 times bigger than small cell

Big cells volume increases faster in volume than surface area because it is cubed
