Summary Introduction

To calculate: The surface area, volume, and ratio of surface area to volume of a spherical cell from the given data.

Introduction: The cells have different size as per their diameter and volume ratio. Cell surface to volume ratio” is important to maintain the cell functions.

Summary Introduction

To determine: How the surface-to-volume ratios of cell 1 and cell 2 are significant to their function.

Introduction: The cells have different size as per their diameter and volume ratio. Cell surface to volume ratio” is important to maintain the cell functions.

What is the size in µm of a cell that is 135mm wide in my photo? The scale bar in the photo is 2.8cm long and represents 8µm.
if you visualize the cytoskeleton of a cell that is expanding in one direction, you typically observed a strong orientation of the cytoskeleton. Please answer the following three questions. a. Would the cytoskeleton be oriented parallel or perpendicular to the direction of cell expansion?  b. Would the cellulose fibers in the cell wall be parallel or perpendicular to the cytoskeleton?  c. Explain why cytoskeleton, cellulose fibers, and direction of cell expansion have the relationship mentioned in a and b?
Draw to scale the outline of two spherical cells, one a bacterium with a diameter of 1 μm, the other an animal cell with a diameter of 15 μm. Calculate the volume, surface area, and surface-to-volume ratio for each cell. how would the latter ratio change if you included the internal membranes of the cell in the calculation of surface area (assume internal membranes have 15 times the area of the plasma membrane)? (the volume of a sphere is given by 4πr3/3 and its surface by 4πr2, where r is its radius.) discuss the following hypothesis: “internal membranes allowed bigger cells to evolve.”
