One can also get information on the surface-to-volume ratio.

AM fungal hyphae have a high surface-to-volume ratio, making their absorptive ability greater than that of plant roots.

Microparticles have a much larger surface-to-volume ratio than at the macroscale, and thus their behavior can be quite different.

Digging minerals out of a planet is too expensive; they have too low a surface-to-volume ratio.

"Since it has no competitors, it does not have to have a large surface-to-volume ratio to compete."

Researchers try to solve the problems caused by the extremely high surface-to-volume ratios.

The high surface-to-volume ratio increases specific heat loss.

Their small size, and therefore large surface-to-volume ratio, gives them an advantage in nutrient poor water.

Since the surface-to-volume ratio is lower, they have a lower fat content.

Modular growth allows biomass to increase without a corresponding decrease in surface-to-volume ratio.
