The surface area-to-volume ratio of the cell.
What else can I help you with?
What limits most cells to a small size?
The surface area-to-volume ratio of the cell.
What limits most cells to a very size?
The surface area-to-volume ratio of the cell.
What limits most cells to a vary small size?
surface tension of plasma membrane
What single factor limits the size that most cells are able to attain?
The cell membrane is the answer! Thanks for asking!
Make most of the protein for the cells?
In a cell there are small particles in the cytoplasm called "ribosomes", it is in these that proteins are synthesised.
Why cells have limits as to how big or small they can be?
because like most things, cells have a limit as to how big or small they can be. they cannot be too small, or they will not have room for all their parts. they cannot be to big, or oxygen and other materials will not be able to reach the middle of the cell fast enough to keep the cell alive. also, waste must be able to leave. NOTE: ( i got this info from my science book )
Do most cells have a cell wall annd a cell membrane?
Only plant cells have cell walls. Animal cells have cell membranes.
Are animal cells large or small?
Animal cells can vary in size, but they are generally small, with most ranging from 10 to 30 micrometers in diameter. However, there are exceptions, such as the egg cell, which can be significantly larger in size.
Is a living plant or animal made of only one cell?
Most plants or animals are made of millions or billions of cells. Most cells are too small to see without a microscope. However, eggs are individual cells. The ostrich egg is the largest known single cell.
What would happen if your cells started to grow much larger than 50 micrometers?
Most cells are very small. In fact, most cells are too small to be seen without a microscope. The average cell in your body is about 50 micrometers (0.05 mm) in diameter. Most of the cells on this planet are bacteria, which are only 3 to 5 micrometers in diameter. How can something as important as a cell be so tiny? Actually, if cells were not so small, they could never do their jobs. Everything the cell needs or has to get rid of has to go through the cell membrane. The amount of cell membrane limits the ability of cells to either get substances from the outside or transport waste and other materials to the outside. This ability is related to surface area. The relationship between surface area and volume controls cell size. As a cell gets larger, its volume increases faster than its surface area if the cell maintains the same shape
Why don't organisms have large cells?
It depends what you mean by large; eggs are single cells and an ostrich egg is pretty large. However, most cells are, by human standards, small. The most obvious reason is that a large cell would not be strong enough to stay together; the lipid bilayer, which surrounds the cell would collapse if the cell was much larger.
What plasma membrane extensions create the most surface area for the cell?
Microvilli are plasma membrane extensions that create the most surface area for the cell. These finger-like projections are found in cells involved in absorption, such as the cells lining the small intestine, and increase the cell's ability to transport nutrients.
