It is advantageous for cells to be small because they are able to get more nourishment. Their size makes them more efficient at diffusion.

What did Robert Hooke give the name cells to the object he observed?
He gave cells the name cells because he looked at a cork underneath a microscope and he thought it looked like the Monk's cells.
Why can small cells exchange substances more readily than large cells?
Small cells have a higher surface area to volume ratio, which allows for a more efficient exchange of substances with their environment. This is because the surface area of a cell determines the rate at which substances can be exchanged, and smaller cells have a greater surface area relative to their volume compared to larger cells.
Most cells are too small to see without the aid of this?
Most cells are too small to see without the aid of a microscope.
What cells make up the small intestine?
The small intestine is primarily made up of epithelial cells, which line the inner surface and are responsible for nutrient absorption. Other cells found in the small intestine include goblet cells that secrete mucus, enteroendocrine cells that produce hormones, and immune cells like lymphocytes that help protect against pathogens.
What are small units that can be seen under high power for a microscope?
Under high power for a microscope, small units such as individual cells, organelles within cells (e.g., mitochondria, chloroplasts), and bacteria can be seen. Subcellular structures like ribosomes and nuclei are also visible at high magnification.
How are small ears advantageous?
Small ears don't get scratched by brambles.
Why is it advantageous for plants to have water transporting cells that are dead?
For one the cells do not use the water they are transporting. Rigidity of structure, for another reason.
Is it advantageous to give chemotherapy during interphase mitosis?
It is advantageous to give chemotherapy during interphase mitosis. By administering chemo, it will encourage the cells to fail and eventually die off.
What cell contains plasmid?
Plasmids are typically found in prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria. These small, circular DNA molecules can replicate independently of chromosomal DNA and often carry genes that provide advantageous traits, like antibiotic resistance. While plasmids can also be found in some eukaryotic cells, they are most commonly associated with bacterial cells.
Why is it advantageous for red cells to have a round structure with a dimple in the middle?
The biconcave nature of red blood cells increases their surface area and assists in better oxygen diffusion.
Why is it advantageous for a cell to grow only to a certain size and then divide into two smaller cells?
Smaller cells work more efficiently because their "supply lines" are short.
What cells contain a plasmid?
Plasmids are typically found in prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, where they exist as small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecules separate from the chromosomal DNA. Some eukaryotic cells, particularly yeast and certain plant cells, can also contain plasmids, especially in laboratory settings where plasmids are used for genetic engineering. Plasmids often carry genes that can provide advantageous traits, such as antibiotic resistance.
How small are cells?
very small
Why can small cells exchange substance readily than large cells?
why can small cells exchange substances more readily than large cells?
Does small animals have small cells?
No, all multicellular organisms have the same size cells.
Why are small cells better then large cells for moving materials through membranes?
small cells have a greater surface-to-volume ratio than larger cells.
Why is it advantageous for the cells of an animal to exhibit divisions of labor?
It allows for a greater amount of specialisation of cell types. Specialisation is almost always an advantage.
