cells divide to maintain perfect surface/volume ratio of the body of an organism.
It is advantageous for cells to be small because they are able to get more nourishment. Their size makes them more efficient at diffusion.
Cells in general are small because that way if you have a lot of them like animals do, then you will be able to absord nutrients better. 100 cells absorb nutrients better than one giant cell. Smaller cells absorb nutrients better because together they have a greater surface area of cell membrane, which is where nutrients are absorbed. Another possible reason cells are small is because if they were big, we would be huge.
there are two main stages in a cells life interphase and mitosis in interphase the cell grows and copies it's chromosomes and then in mitosis is when it starts to divide It takes place when the cell becomes to large to correct the surface area to volume ratio of the cell. More surface area means that it is easier to transport nutrients into the cell and wastes out of the cell.
As a cell increases in size the volume increases much faster than the surface area. The possible answer is C.
You are probably thinking of the surface area to volume ratio. When you have two small cells instead of one big one, there is more 'outside'.
It increases.
individual cells grows in size, but there are limits to the size that cells can reach. cells need a high ratio of surface area to volume in order to function. as a cell grows, that ratio decreases. when the cell divides into two smaller cells, the ratio of surface area to volume for each cell increases.
cells divide to maintain perfect surface/volume ratio of the body of an organism.
If the cells are spherical, the surface area increases as the square of the radius while the volume increases as the cube of the radius. Therefore, as the cells become larger, their volumes increase much more rapidly than their surface areas. Conversely, as the cells become smaller, their volumes decrease much more rapidly that their areas and so the surface area to volume increase. With non-spherical cells the calculations are much more complex, but the general pattern still applies.

The contribution margin ratio increases when?
A smaller cell has a higher surface area to volume ratio. A reason for this is volume is cubic (3D) and surface area is 2D so when surface area increases a little bit, the volume increases exponentially. And when the surface area shrinks a little bit, the volume decreases exponentially.
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease if its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area.
When cells get smaller, the volume (as well as mass) decreases faster than the surface area so the surface:volume increases. Cells with a high surface:volume are more effective in receiving nutrients through diffusion. A cell (assume perfect sphere) with radius 2 has a surface area of 16pi and volume of 32pi/3. A cell with radius 3 has a surface area of 36pi and volume of 108pi/3. Also relatively speaking, volume can be thought of as y=x3 and surface area as y=x2. When there is a change in x, the change is more dramatic in the volume, so small cells have high ratios and large cells have low ratios.
One advantage small cells have is that they have a higher to surface-area to volume ratio which gives them more surface area for exchanging wastes and nutrients. Another advantage is that the nucleus is closer to the cell membrane, so they are more efficient in transporting messages
The aspect ratio of a duct can be evaluated as the ratio of width to height. As the aspect ratio increases, vibration noise, friction and cost also increases.
