What is phagocytosis and how does it work?
large particles or cells are engulfed by the cell plasma membrane
Is an Elephant large because it has large cells?
No, an elephant is not large because it has large cells.
Why is it advantageous for an organism to have many smaller cells instead of fewer larger ones?
Cells can only grow so large because the surface to volume ratio decreases with size. This ratio needs to remain large because it allows a better interface w/ other cells per size: the cell could not survive if it was too large.
Why are groups of small cells better than one large cell material in and out?
They have a greater surface-to-volume ratio. :)
What is small in animal cells but large in plant cells?
Animal cells have small vacuoles, whereas plant cells have large vacuoles.
Why are there small cells?
because if a cell is too large, it takes more DNA, work, and maintenance to keep it living, whereas if it is a small cell, transport is quicker and DNA, work, and maintenance are quicker and takes less effort than large cells* it is also better for cells to have a larger surface area: volume ratio so that transport is easier
What is phagocytosis and how does it work?
large particles or cells are engulfed by the cell plasma membrane
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 is a specialized group of small cells better than one large cells with the same volume?
It has more cell structures
Why is a specialized group of small cells better than one large cell with the same volume one large?
It has more cell structures
Is an Elephant large because it has large cells?
No, an elephant is not large because it has large cells.
Why is it important for large bones to work with the circulatory system to produce blood cells?
You should know that
Where does a muscle receive the energy from to contact?
What we call a muscle is really a large number of cells that work by contracting. Work that all cells do uses glucose, a simple sugar. This is used in producing ATP the "battery" that generates energy for the cells,
Why is a specialized group of small cells better than a large cell with the same volume?
It has more cell structures
Why is it important that the large bones work with the circulatorty to produce blood cells?
so it can fight off bacteria
What cells have large vacuoles?
Plants have large vacuoles
Why are groups at small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out?
They have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
