Cells are of a small size because of consideration of the proportional relationship between surface area and volume. The size of cells also becomes a benefit when considering the rate at which cells die and are being replaced.

The small size of cells is best correlated with?
they are self-reproducing
Do large animals have larger cells?
No. They are all similar in size. However, larger animals do have more cells. For example, there is a big brick house and a small brick house. The bricks are all the same size but, the big brick house has more bricks.
Why It is advantageous for cells to be small?
It is advantageous for cells to be small because they are able to get more nourishment. Their size makes them more efficient at diffusion.
Examples why cells are small?
DNA is found in the nucleus of the cell, and when the cell is small, the information stored in that DNA is able to meet all of the cells needs. But as a cell increases in size, it usually does not make extra copies of DNA. Just think about a small town library with a few thousand books. If the town gets larger, there will be more and more people borrowing books, just like in a cell.
Why cant certain cells like bacteria get to be the of an animal like a dog?
Why can't certain cells,like bacteria,get to be the size of a small fish
Does small animal have small cell?
All living things are made up of cells. Because they are small in size does not mean that their cell size is small. Generally cells are the same size between organisms.
Which is not a reason cells stay small?
We can not give you an answer as you do not give a choice. However, cells stay small because they are the right size to function properly. Perhaps you can select an answer from that.
Does small animals have small cells?
No, all multicellular organisms have the same size cells.
Does the size and number of cell depend upon the size of organism?
size don't matter because all the cells are in the same size.so the number of cells matter.for example an elephant has so many cells so it's huge but in the case of an ant it has less number of cells so it's small
Are human cells the same size as the whale cells?
Yes they are the same size. The whale is a bigger animal because there are more of the cells, not because the cells are bigger.
Do large animals have llarger cells then small animals?
No they do not. They all have the same size of cells.

Why are the capillaries very small in size?
they are blood vessels that reachout to the cells
Why are the capillaries very small size?
they are blood vessels that reachout to the cells
The reason that most cells are limited to a very small size?
eubacteria
Why capillaries very small in size?
Capillaries are very small in size because they need to have a large surface area so they are able to transport blood all around the body. Blood cells must pass in single file through the capillaries as they are so small.
