Uhm, you may be reffering to Sickle Cell Anemia, where blood cells become sickle-shaped, thus become "long." Therefore they have drastically reduced efficiency in transporting oxygen and other nutrients.

Or, you may be referring to when a cell becomes too large that the normal surface area to volume ratio is distorted, so nutrients can not diffuse into the cell as easily, or the cell can't get enough nutrients for it's entire structure. Therefore the cell dies, or, more commonly, it divides.

Before a normal cell becomes too large to carry out normal activities it will divide to form what?

Before a normal cell becomes too large, it will divide through a process called mitosis to form two identical daughter cells. This allows the cell to maintain a proper size and continue carrying out its normal activities efficiently.


Why is it helpful for cells to divide?

The larger a cell becomes, the more demands it places on its DNA . It also becomes more difficult for the cell to move nutrients and oxygen in, and waste products out. The ratio of surface area to volume becomes too small.

When too much water enters a cell it is known as?

When too much water enters a cell, it is known as cell swelling or cytolysis. This can occur due to osmosis, where water moves into the cell to try to equalize concentrations of solutes inside and outside the cell. If too much water enters, the cell can burst or undergo damage.
