Living in Malaysia, I'm surrounded by broken English. The schooling here is done mainly in the Malay language, so many people have poor spoken English. I remember asking my colleague if my client could come at 7pm, and she replied Can. This is because in Malay, the reply would be boleh.
Indeed, representing a cell as an idealized sphere of radius r, the volume and surface area are, respectively, V = 4/3 Ï r 3; SA = 4 Ï r 2. The resulting surface area to volume ratio is therefore 3/ r. Thus, if a cell has a radius of 1 Î¼m, the SA:V ratio is 3; whereas if the radius of the cell is instead 10 Î¼m, then the SA:V ratio becomes 0.3. With a cell radius of 100, SA:V ratio is 0.03.
Surface area is measured in square units, the exact unit is given with the dimensions. For example, if the dimensions for a rectangular prism are 1cm by 1cm by 1cm, then the s â¦ urface area is 6 square cm. The above does not answer the question asked.
