Question

Human cells vary in size from 30-4,000,000 µm3 in volume. Apply your knowledge of cell structure and simple diffusion to predict which cell type in the table below would have the fastest diffusion rate for water molecules to the center of the cell. Explain your prediction by referencing the relationship between cell size and diffusion rate. Cell Size and diffusion rate table with nine rows and two columns. Row (0,1) through (0,2);Cell type, Average volume (cubic micrometers). Row (1,1) through (1,2); Sperm Cell, 30 cubic micrometers. Row (2,1) through (2,2); Red Blood Cell, 100 cubic micrometers. Row (3,1) through (3,2): Neutrophil, 300 cubic micrometers. Row (4,1) through (4,2); Beta cell, 1000 cubic micrometers. Row (5,1) through (5,2); Fibroblast, 2000 cubic micrometers. Row (6,1) through (6,2); Osteoblast, 4000 cubic micrometers. Row (7,1) through (7,2) Megakaryocyte, 30,000 cubic micrometers. Row (8,1) through (8,2); Fat Cell, 600,000 cubic micrometers. Row (9,1) through (9,2); Oocyte, 4,000,000 cubic micrometers.
