As a cell gets larger it's surface area to volume ratio increases. This means that the cell can not take in nutrients and therefore, it cannot survive. (A chicken yolk is the only exception). Now, if you are talking of the cell cycle first it undergoes interphase which is the cell getting larger and it copies its chromosomes, DNA, and organelles, then it goes through Mitosis. The first part of Mitosis is Prophase this is where the chromosomes split into Chromatids and the nucleaur membrane starts to dissolve. Then Metaphase takes place. This is where the chromatids line up at each poles of the cell pushing. The last stage of Mitosis is telephase. This is where the chromatids line up homologuous to each other and the nuclear membrane appears back. The last stage is Cytokinesis. This is where the cell has now been duplicated into 2 brand new cells. Hopefully one of these answers is an answer for your question. For the cell cycle, pictures might work best too.

This process is known as mitosis.
mitosis helps the growth of organisms and it also repairs and replaces old/damaged cells inside organism's body.

What doesn't occur as a cell grows larger in size?
Diffusion across the cell membrane is impaired
What happens to a animal cell when it grows?
The cells increase in size and number.
The cell grows to its mature size during what stage of mitosis?
During the first stage of interphase offspring cells grow to mature size. The first stage os interphase is also called G1.
Is it true that a cell's size increases its amount of DNA also increases?
Yes, The larger a cell becomes, the more demands the cell places on its DNA. In addition, a larger cell is less efficient in moving nutrients and waste materials across the cell membrane. Hope this helped! (:
What happens to a cell when your body is dehydrated?
it shrinks in size
What doesn't occur as a cell grows larger in size?
Diffusion across the cell membrane is impaired
What happens to a animal cell when it grows?
The cells increase in size and number.
What happens in a cell interphase?
The cell grows, and develops, as it doubles its size. It contains DNA structures now, called chromosomes.
When a atom loses an electron it grows larger in size?
It grows smaller in size.
A cell grows in size until it reaches what?
Their size limit
When the cell grows larger and gets more content will it need more or less cell membrane to survive?
It will need more cell membrane to cover it but cells only grow a certain size before they will no longer be efficient.
Between the ages of 9 and 15 what happens to the testicles?
The testicles become larger and lower from the body, due to the body heat you produce.
What happens during during the g1 phase of the cell cycle?
The G1 phase, or Growth 1/Gap 1 phase, is the first of four phases of the cell cycle that takes place in eukaryotic cell division. In this part of interphase, the cell grows in size and synthesizes mRNA and proteins in preparation for subsequent steps leading to mitosis.
How larger is a red blood cell?
It is 8µm in size.
What happens to the size of the cell during interphrase?
They double in size
The cell grows to its mature size during what stage of mitosis?
During the first stage of interphase offspring cells grow to mature size. The first stage os interphase is also called G1.
Is it true that a cell's size increases its amount of DNA also increases?
Yes, The larger a cell becomes, the more demands the cell places on its DNA. In addition, a larger cell is less efficient in moving nutrients and waste materials across the cell membrane. Hope this helped! (:
