Does the cell wall protect against osmotic pressure?

Cells deal with Osmotic Pressure by pumping out excess water and "bathing" themselves in blood. Osmotic Pressure can cause many injuries to a cells, including the bursting of the cell. Large organisms are not in danger of bursting. Many of the cells in large organisms do not even come in contact with fresh water. Instead, the cells are bathed in isotonic fluids such as blood. These isotonic fluids have concentrations of dissolved materials equal to those in the actual cells. Other cells, like plants and bacteria, who do come in contact with fresh water, have extremely tough cell walls. The cell walls prevent the cells from expanding, even under Osmotic Pressure. However, the increased pressure makes cells vulnerable to injuries to their cell walls.


Are all eukaryote large muticellular organisms?

The answer is yes. If by large you mean composed of one or more cells.


How would you distinguish a large colonial organism from a multicellular organisms?

Multicellular organisms are organisms with more than one cell, the cells of which are usually specialized. A large colonial organism is an organism of many cells that are loosely attached to each other and that show little or no specialization among themselves. Multicellular organisms are capable of surviving on their own while colonial organisms are not.


Why do large organisms require a circulatory systems?

Larger organisms develop cells that each do very specific chores. They depend on other cells to deliver the required oxygen and nutrients. The circulatory system allows the cells that are in charge of providing these required substances to the other cells.

Explain why large active organisms need special surface for exchange?

large organisms need larger area to exchange more substances.but large organisms have small surface area to volume ratio.this means that the surface is not large enough to enable gases and nutrients at the fast rate needed to keep all the cells alive.thus large organisms need special exchange surfaces to provide the body with the nutrients and gaseous exchange they require.


Are trees single celled organisms?

yes, as a matter of fact they are, because a single cell can be as large as a tree (wrong) Trees are absolutely not single-celled organisms. they have phloem cells, xylom cells, probably more millions of cells than we can count.
