Consider two spherical cells P and Q with radii of 1 micrometer and 0.01 millimetre respectively. Choose the statement that is correct regarding these cells.

Options

  1. ACell P has a surface area ten times greater than cell Q .
  2. BThe surface area to volume ratio of cell P is 10 times greater than that of cell Q .
  3. CThe volume of cell Q is 100 times larger than cell P .
  4. DIf the radii of P and Q is doubled then the volume and surface area is also doubled.

Correct answer

B. The surface area to volume ratio of cell P is 10 times greater than that of cell Q .
