Enlarging and making an object more spherical decreases the surface area relative to the volume, as a sphere has the smallest surface area for a given volume compared to other shapes. This is contrary to increasing surface area relative to volume, which is achieved by making structures flatter, increasing folding, or increasing branching, as these strategies increase the surface area without a proportional increase in volume.
