1. What would be the diameter of a sphere that is as efficient as a cube-like cell with a surface area of 6X2 µm2?

2. Consider the following two imaginary cells: Cell A is spherical in shape with a radius of 8 µm. Cell B is cube-like with a side of 8 µm. Which cell is more efficient? How many times is that cell more efficient than the other cell?

3. Cells A and B are both cube-like. Cell A is more efficient than cell B. Therefore, which cell has a greater surface area?

4. Cell X is spherical in shape with a volume of 100 µm3 whereas cell Y is cube-like with a volume of 150 µm3 . Which cell is more efficient?

5. Cell A is cube-like with a SA/V ratio of 2/3 whereas cell B is spherical with a SA/V ratio of 5/6. Therefore a. cell A is smaller than cell B b. cell A has a bigger SA than cell B c. cell A is more efficient than cell B d. cell A and cell B are equally efficient e. none of the above
