Cells in the body of a metazoan organism like yourself have many shapes and sizes that are suited to their particular functions. consider a muscle cell, which has the shape of a long cylinder. a cell in one of the tiny dorsal interosseous muscles of your hand is 13 mm long, with a radius of 10 μm. (a) what is its surface-to-volume ratio? (b) the volume of the human oocyte in the previous problem is similar to that of the dorsal interosseous muscle cell in (a), but their s/v ratios are very different. calculate the ratio of (surface-to-volume ratio of the muscle cell)/(surface-to-volume ratio of the oocyte)

Why are some body cells responsive to a particular hormone, whereas others are not? responsive cells have complex signal transduction pathways, whereas cells that do not respond to a particular hormone lack these pathways. responsive cells express a receptor specific for the hormone. all of these choices are correct. responsive cells are located closer to the gland that releases the hormone. whether or not a cell responds to a hormone depends entirely on what type of cell it is (liver cell vs. fat cell vs. nerve cell), because hormones only activate one type of cell.
