Cells in the body of a metazoan organism like yourself have many shapes and sizes that are suited to their particular functions. consider a muscle cell, which has the shape of a long cylinder. a cell in one of the tiny dorsal interosseous muscles of your hand is 13 mm long, with a radius of 10 μm. (a) what is its surface-to-volume ratio? (b) the volume of the human oocyte in the previous problem is similar to that of the dorsal interosseous muscle cell in (a), but their s/v ratios are very different. calculate the ratio of (surface-to-volume ratio of the muscle cell)/(surface-to-volume ratio of the oocyte)
