As a cell grows, what happens to its surface area to volume ratio? (hint: think of a balloon being blown up). how does this ratio change with respect to cell division?

Cells are the living entity that grows, reproduces, and divides. The growth of cell causes its volume to increase at a greater rate than its surface area. The SA:V ratio decreases when the volume of cell increases.

SA:V ratio is defined as the ratio between surface area exposed to surrounding relative to its body's volume. When the cell increases its volume, the SA:V ratio decreases, because the volume of the cell increases at faster rate than the surface surrounding the cell.

Cell division is:

The cell division have roughly same SA:V ratio. The ratio is advantageous because the cell can preserve its surface area to volume ratio. The high ratio indicates that cell can diffuse more substances in and out of the cell at higher rate.
