When a cell gets too big however what does it tend to do?
If a cell becomes too large, diffusion is too slow to provide the interior of the cell with proper nutrients. The DNA of the cell can not be copied fast enough, and the larger a cell is the less surface area the cell has.
What is the solution to the problems caused by cell growth?
Mitosis. The cell splits when it gets too big.
What is the surface area to volume ratio in a cell and why is it importa NT?
The surface area to volume ratio is how big the cell's membrane's area is compared to the volume of everything inside the cell. If the volume becomes too large, the cell will not be able to release waste or receive necessary nutrients as easily. Plus, the cell's DNA can't keep up with the cell.
Relate ratio of surface area to volume to cell growth and cell division?
When a cell is too big, it makes it more difficult for it to bring in proteins and protect itself from disease, not to mention that the membrane will become stretched and almost useless. When a cell is too large it will usually divide to cause the optimal situation; more surface area than volume. With more surface area and less volume the cell is easier to maintain and protect.
How a cell performs its function?
a cell permorms its function very uniquely cell helps in division and cell cycle too!
What does a cell do to make sure that it does not grow too big?
A cell will divide to make sure that the cell does not grown too big. In a plant the cells have a cell wall that prevents it from growing too big.

In order to grow and survive cells need information from their DNA and nutrients from their environment When a cell gets too big however what does it tend to do?
It divides.
In order to grow and survive cells need information from their DNA and nutrients from their environment. When a cell gets too big however what does it tend to do?
It divides.
What must a cell do once it had gotten too large?
It dies because it cant create enough food to help it live.
What is the solution to the problems cause by cell growth?
Mitosis. The cell splits when it gets too big.
Why can't a cell be as big as a house?
A cell has to be able to maintain homeostasis. The cells surface area to volume ratio has to be maintained. If a cell gets too big, it will not be able to take in enough nutrients and remove metabolic waste in order for it to keep up with the increasing volume. The volume of the cell gets too big and without being able to maintain a balance or ( homeostasis), a cell may in turn die.
What keep a cell from getting too big?
surface area -to- volume ratio
Is the hole in the ozone layer as big as scientist first thought?
Yes, and it has gotten larger every year until 2006 (record). It has gotten a bit smaller since then. And it closes shut every year too (so zero size every year too).
What is the solution to the problems caused by cell growth?
Mitosis. The cell splits when it gets too big.
What statement explains why oxygen molecules easily diffuse across a cell membrane which glucose molecules do not?
Glucose is too big to pass throught.
Why cells have limits how big or small they can be?
Cells could only hold so much volume. If it is too big or too small the cell will not be able to function or work right.
