no once its full they stop unless they are cancerous
Cells are dependent on the ration between surface area and volume. as the cels get bigger the ratio decreases, meaning that the volume gets larger faster than does the surface area. they cant survive past a certain point, because the nutrients that permeate the membrane have a harder time diffusing throughout a larger volume with a comparatively smaller surface area. this is why cells divide: the volume splits in half, but the surface area stays the same.
It increases.
The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger.Thus, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membranefast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume.When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function.That is why cells are so small.
Actually, some are large enough to be seen without a microscope. The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger.If the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membranefast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function. That is why cells are so small.
By adding elongated extensions to the cell the surface area to volume ratio will be increased. One good example of a type of cell that can get very large but still have adequate oxygen diffusion rates is a neuron, some of which can have meters long axons in some animals.Flatten it. The shape should be as far from spherical, and the cross section as far from circular as possible.
Cells divide because the larger the cell becomes the less efficient it is. So they multiply and younger ones come into being and they are more efficient. So they keep dividing to make more.Cells divide because when your body grows, the cells dont grow with you they divide to make morecaus sometimes they just feel like it...
The relationship is usually expressed as a ratio: surface area divided by volume. Small cells have a large surface area to volume ratio, whilst large cells have a much smaller value. This is important because the cell absorbs the things it needs, and gets rid of what it doesn't need, through the surface. If the cell gets too large, not enough exchange can take place to keep the cell going, so there is a natural limit on the size to which a cell can grow.
then, the cell is said to be cancerous. soon, these cells divide, and the person gets cancer.
Cancer cells divide excessively and invade other tissues. They do not have density dependence or anchorage dependence. Simply put, regular cells grow in an even layer while cancer cells grow tightly and on top of each other - an unnatural mass.
if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function. That is why cells are so small. That may be the effect but the question as worded is purely arithmetical. Surface area is proportional to the square of the linear dimensions; volume to the cube.

Mature cells can't grow back, in other words divide or reproduce. This means that when a person gets severe burns, or brain damage, the cells won't come back and the person might be paralyzed or have no feeling in a certain area. So if it was possible for nerve cells to divide, they person wouldn't have any problems and could heal themselves.
