Relative amounts of membrane types in two kinds of eucaryotic cells

Range Table - link % of total cell membrane
Organism Eukaryotes
Reference Alberts et al., Molecular biology of the cell, 2008 5th edition, Garland Science p.697 table 12-2
Comments “On average, the membrane-enclosed compartments together occupy nearly half the volume of a cell (table 12-1 BNID 110373), and a large amount of intracellular membrane is required to make them all. In liver and pancreatic cells, for example, the endoplasmic reticulum has a total membrane surface area that is, respectively, 25 times and 12 times that of the plasma membrane (table 12-2).” See note beneath table
