A Cell Question

How much empty space does a cell have or is it more or less a molecular "sphere" for instance?

A cell doesn't have empty spaces. Everything within it is in solution - in water. And I wouldn't call it a sphere, because cell shapes vary tremendously.

Right, I know a cell shape can vary moment to moment depending on environmental variables alone. It was just a way to frame the question I guess, also thank you. SO would it be safe to apply the term molecular motor to a cell as a whole?
