Best Answer

By influence of the environment (the uterus, and hormones), the fertilized ovum (single cell) replicates its genetic content and divides, resulting in two cells. These two cells further replicate and divide into four, eight, sixteen, ... After multiple cycles of genetic replication and cellular division, further embryological development by cellular differentiationleads to formation of organs, and ultimately, to formation of a chicken! The more you know about the details in this process, the more incredible it seems that one cell can actually result in a living chick - or human being!

It is made of cellulose which strengthens the cell


What limits cell size?

I doubt that there is any limit to how large a cell can be. However, the cell's size really depends on the function of the cell. Generally, in the case of a single-celled microorganisms, the cells have to move materials (example, nutrients and wastes) across the cell membrane to stay alive. If the materials move in or out of the cell too slowly, for example the waste accumulates in the cell or the cell is unable to get its nutrients quickly, the cell will die. In order for the rate of diffusion of materials across the cell membrane be as efficient as possible, the cell has to increase its area of cell membrane per unit volume, which is to say, be as small as possible. As for the current largest cell, which is the ostrich egg, the function of the egg is NOT moving materials in and out of the cell surface membrane, but to protect the chick inside the egg and to contain the nutrients that will nourish the chick inside until the chick hatches. The chick needs a lot of nutrients and the chick is going to grow a lot in the egg, so the egg (cell) has to be rather large. There is also an organism known as caulerpa, which is a meter long single-celled organism, but I have no idea why is it that huge.


How could a single cell become a big individual?

millions and billions and trillions of cell division, replication, and growth.


What is a basal cell and what is it's purpose?

A basal cell is one that has yet to differentiate. It is special because it can become whatever type of cell the body requires.

How do you reduce the size of cells in an excel spread sheet If I have 5 columns in row 1 and I want row 2 to have 10 columns that are the same size as the 5 columns in row 1 how could I achieve this?

You cannot really do that. The only thing you can do is on row 1, merge each pair of cells, so that cell 1 and cell 2 become one merged cell , cell 3 and 4 become one cell and so on. Then you will have one cell in row 1 above two cells in row two.You cannot really do that.

What part of the egg provide food for the chick?

The germinal disc. The egg is really just a single cell, until it is fertilized. The blastodisc (white spot on top of the yolk) is what will become part of the fetus when fertilized with sperm. Then the fetus feeds off the yolk to continue developing.
