  • Microtubule arrangement in basal bodies
    Basal bodies have a 9+0 arrangement of triplet microtubules.
  • Microtubule arrangement in flagella and cilia
    Flagella and cilia have a 9+2 arrangement of doublet microtubules.
  • Microtubule arrangement in centrioles
    Centrioles have a 9+0 arrangement of triplet microtubules.
  • Surface area formula for cubic cells
    Surface area = side × side × 6.
  • Volume formula for cubic cells
    Volume = side × side × side.
  • Surface area formula for rectangular cells
    Surface area = 2(ab) + 2(ac) + 2(bc), where a, b, and c are the side lengths.
  • Volume formula for rectangular cells
    Volume = a × b × c, where a, b, and c are the side lengths.
  • Surface area formula for spherical cells
    Surface area = \(4\pi r^{2}\).
  • Volume formula for spherical cells
    Volume = \(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}\).
