A cube-shaped cell has sides of 2 micrometres. What is its ratio of surface area to volume?

  • A.1 to 3
  • B.6 to 1
  • C.2 to 1
  • D.3 to 1

Answer: D

Surface area is six times four, which is 24, and volume is two cubed, which is 8, giving a ratio of 3 to 1. For any cube the ratio is simply 6 divided by the length of the side, which makes the effect of size on the ratio easy to see.
