The 12 pages that link to Surface-area-to-volume ratio, each with the reason it gives.

• AllometryRelated: Its size dependence constrains heat exchange and other biological functions.

• Cutaneous respirationRelated: A high ratio makes diffusion across the body surface more capable of meeting tissue demand.

• NanotechnologyRelated: Nanoparticles expose many more atoms at their surfaces relative to their interiors.

• Surface areaRelated: It compares exchange area with the amount of material or fluid inside.

• Bergmann's ruleRelated: A lower ratio in larger bodies can reduce heat loss per unit of tissue.

• Body sizeRelated: It helps explain size-dependent heat exchange, diffusion, and material transport.

• PyrophoricityRelated: Fine particles expose more reactive surface to air and can ignite more readily.

• NanoparticleRelated: A large fraction of atoms lie at the surface of a small particle, changing its reactivity and interactions.

• GigantothermyRelated: As body size increases, less surface area is available per unit volume for heat exchange.

• Cotton candyRelated: Extremely thin strands expose much sugar to humid air.

• NanocatalysisRelated: Smaller catalyst particles expose more surface per amount of material.
