Compute surface to volume ratio of the muscle cell

Reference no: EM1391951

Question: 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):

Here's the previous problem:
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 ?m.
(A) What is its surface-to-volume ratio?
