When calculating Surface Area to Volume ratios (SA:V), the following formulas are used:Sphere:
Surface area = 4πr2
Volume = 4/3πr3
Where π = 3.14 and r = radius of the sphere
Cube:
Surface area = 6 x (length x depth)
Volume = length x depth x height
You have been given two cell samples:
Cell A is a spherical cell with a radius of 5 µm.
Cell B is a cube-shaped cell with a length, depth, and height of 10 µm.
a) What is the SA:V of Cell A? : 1Input numerical answer to one decimal place.b) What is the SA:V of Cell B? : 1Input numerical answer to one decimal place.c) Based on the above calculations, which cell (A or B) would most efficiently transport substances across the cell membrane?
