An oocyte is an immature reproductive cell found in many sexually reproducing organisms. A crawfish oocyte has a radius of approximately 1 mm, while a human oocyte is much smaller and has a radius of about 0.05 mm. Surface area of a sphere: A= 4r2 Assuming both cell types are perfectly spherical, how many times larger is the surface area of a crawfish oocyte compared to the surface area of a human oocyte?
