Surface area and volume
Surface area and volume are calculated for any three-dimensional geometrical shape. The surface area of any given object is the area or region occupied by the surface of the object. Whereas volume is the amount of space available in an object. ... Each shape has its surface area as well as volume.What is the difference between total surface area and volume?
Surface area is the sum of the areas of all the faces of the solid figure. Finding surface area of solid figure is like finding how much wrapping paper that is required to cover the solid; it is the area of the outside faces of a box. ... Volume is the amount of space inside of the solid figure.Why volume and surface area is important?
The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger. Thus, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. ... That is why cells are so small.
