What is small in animal cells but large in plant cells?
Animal cells have small vacuoles, whereas plant cells have large vacuoles.
What is the explanation for the fact that most cells are small and have cell membranes with many convolutions?
Small cells are better able to transport material more efficiently. Many convolutions increase the surface area of the cell, thus allowing for more interactions between the cell and its environment. A large cell has greater volume to its surface area and if this is too large, it will not get enough protein and oxygen.
Are the cells in a large potato larger than the cells in a small potato?
no. a large potato justhas a larger amount of cells.
Where are organelles found and what do they do?
organnelles are the small organs inside cells that perform specialized functions
Do large animals have llarger cells then small animals?
No they do not. They all have the same size of cells.
What is small in animal cells but large in plant cells?
Animal cells have small vacuoles, whereas plant cells have large vacuoles.
Why can small cells exchange substance readily than large cells?
why can small cells exchange substances more readily than large cells?
What size cells are the most efficient?
small :)
Are animal cells large or small?
Not as small as your penis
Why would a group of small cells help an organism maintain homeostasis better than one large cell?
The group of small cells would have a greater surface area-to-volume ratio, so are able to exchange materials with their surroundings more efficiently.

Are prokaryotic cells small?
yes they are small and they have no nucleus unlike eukaryotic cells that do have a nucleus and are large.
Are the cells in a large potato larger than the cells in a small potato?
no. a large potato justhas a larger amount of cells.
What would work more efficiently 100 small cells 100 medium cells or 100 large cells 100 huge cells?
Cells are most efficient when they a greater surface area and smaller volume. The larger a cell gets, the more difficult transport becomes and the longer it takes to reach homeostasis. !00 smaller (Faster) cells are the most efficient of the options given.
Why are small cells better then large cells for moving materials through membranes?
small cells have a greater surface-to-volume ratio than larger cells.
Why can small cells exchange subtances more readily than large cells?
Small cells have higher surface area to volume ratio than larger cells.
