Comparison of membrane electric capacitance per unit of volume in yeast and several small cells compared to larger giant squid axon and algal cells of charophytes. Membrane electric capacitance is linearly proportional to cell surface area with coefficient about C_m = 1 μF/cm². The curve is approximated by inverse proportional function, both axes are in logarithmic scale. Higher values for spermatozoon are explained by the long tail of the cell; cardiomyocytes are flat cells with invaginations (T-tubules) to increase surface. More details are given in the text.
