Question

Transcribed Image Text:3. As the radius of a cell increases, which statement is true?
Sphere surface area = A=4πr2
Sphere volume = V=4373
A) the surface area increases more than the cell volume increases
B) the surface area and cell volume increase similarly
C) the cell volume increases more than the surface area increases
D) the surface area increases but the cell volume can go down
Expert Solution

Step 1
If the radius of cell is been increased to 3x, then its surface area will be increased to 9x and volume will be increased to 27x.
