Explain how a cell's DNA can limit the cell's size?
The size depends on the amount of DNA stored in the cell. :)well, I believe it's because if a cell is too big, it has to feed more. As the surface area increases, so does the volume, remember. So think of a balloon. The surface area is very tiny compared to the volume, correct? So, the cell is so tiny because if it were even , say, the size of a quarter, it would have to feed a WHOLE lot to keep from starvation.... I'm pretty sure that's it. So you see, the DNA keeps the cell from starvation.There has to be enough DNA to code for metabolism so the cell can grow.If a cell had unlimited space, it could not be able to perform functions needed to live. The cell's DNA is limited depending on how fast the volume of the cell decreases/ surface area decreases.jhdhjdhdkkdkdkh
What is the size of a typical granule or convection cell seen in the photosphere?
The size of a typical granule seen in the photosphere is about 1000 km across.
How does the surface area of a cell limit the growth of the cell?
The rate of diffusion is affected by properties of a cell, the diffusing molecule, and the surrounding solution.
How many phases are there in the eukaryotic cell cycle?
Cell cycle is defined as sequence of event between one cell division and the next . In eukaryotic , have 4 phase of cell cycle . 1. G1 - increase size, produce RNA, synthesis protein . - checkpoint to prepare enter S phase. 2. S phase - DNA replication. 3. G2 - contineu increase in size and produce protein. - Checkpoint to determine if cell can enter mitotic phase. 4. Mitotic phase - mitosis + cytokinesis
Why do some materials easily pass through a cell membrane?
All substances pass eaxily through the cee mem brane it is true for false?
The size of a cell is limited by it's?
The maximum size of a cell is limited by its need for enough surface area in order to conduct exchanges with its environment. This is referred to as contact inhibition.
Explain why cells can only grow to a limited size?
Cells will only grow to a certain size. If a cell gets too big, it is much harder for the cell to transport food and wastes in and out of the cell fro the nucleus. so, to avoid this, the cell divides.
What are the size of cells limited by?
Cell size is limited by the cell membrane surface area to cell contents volume ratio. As a cell grows it eventually reaches a point where the cell membrane is unable to transport enough materials in and out at a sufficient rate to supply the needs of the cell. Cell size may also limited by space and other environmental factors.
The size of cells is limited by their?
Cells are limited in size by the rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through its surface. volume increases faster than surface area and homeostasis is disrupted by a cell that is too large
Cells are limited in size by the?
a. rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through its surface.
Explain why cell can differ so much in size?
Some cells have constraints on their size, for instance a cell wall, whereas other cells have flexible cell membranes, which pose no constraints on the cell size.
Is it true a cell's size is limited by the thickness of the cell wall?
No. Its size is limited by the cell's surface area to volume ratio. If the volume increases quicker than the surface area, the cell cannot release waste or take in nutrients as effectively. Also, the cell's DNA would not be able to keep up with the cell's functions.
What factors limit the size of a cell?
Cell size is limited by a cell's surface area to volume ratio. A smaller cell is more effective and transporting materials, including waste products, than a larger cell.
Cells are limited in size by their surface Ares and what else?
Cell size is limited by volume.Surface area to volume ratio (surface area / volume)Nucleo-cytoplasmic ratioFragility of cell membraneMechanical structures necessary to hold the cell together (and the contents of the cell in place)
Explain The Relationship Between cell size and the movement of materials into and out of cells?
It's poo lol =D
Are cells limited in size by the rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through it's surface?
Yes. It's called the surface-to-volume ratio.
