What else can I help you with?
Why must cells be small?
Cells must be small in order to efficiently exchange nutrients and waste with their environment through their cell membrane. Smaller cells have a higher surface area-to-volume ratio, allowing for faster diffusion of materials. Additionally, smaller cells can efficiently and quickly transport molecules within the cell.
Why is a specialized group of small cells better than one large cell with the same volume one large?
It has more cell structures
What are three structures that plant cells have that animal cells lack?
The animals cells do not have a cell wall whereas plant cells do. The plant cells have a large vacuole with cell sap whereas animal cells have many small vacuoles with no cell sap. The plant cells have chloroplast whereas animal cells do not.
What adaptations might help a very large cell survive?
The surface area of large cells is very small without an adequate adaptation. Large cells have many cell folds or Crista within their cell membranes and within the cell to maximize cell's surface area which speeds up the process of cellular metabolism.
Why are organs made up of small cells instead of large cells?
Organs are made up of small cells instead of large cells to allow the organs to be not easily harmed. This way if one cell dies or is attacked then the organ will not be damaged. If the cell was larger then the organ might not be able to recover.

What is the difference between small and large cell cancer?
My husband was just diagnosed with secondary liver cancer. I would like to know what is the difference between small cell and larger cell cancer. This is refering to small cell and large cell lung cancer, so I don't know how helpful it'll be: Small cell lung cancer is called this because the cancer cells are small cells that are mostly filled with the nucleus. Small cell cancer spreads early on, so radiotherapy, rather than surgery, is suggested. Large cell lung cancer is called this because the cells look large and rounded. This type of cancer spreads more quickly. source: http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/type/lung-cancer/about/types-of-lung-cancer#large
What can small cells do that large cells can not?
They do not appear to undergo binary fission, but instead become only a small portion of the overall cytoplasmic mass of the large parent cell Thus, these giant cells can endow their progeny with DNA and... and cell-division were lacking.... the masses were unable to even begin ...
Why is a specialized group of small cells better than one large cells with the same volume?
It has more cell structures
What is the volume of the cell?
It would depend on the particular cell. Some cells are very small, while others are relatively large.
Why is a specialized group of small cells better than one large cell with same volume?
It has more cell structures
What are the two major classes of cells?
There are animal cells and plant cells. Plant cells have three things an animal cell lacks, a cell wall, a large vacuole, and chloroplasts. Animal cells may have small vacuole(s) but never a large one. I hope this helps =]
