What is one benefit to an organism of being large?
It takes less cells to do the job. If you cut yourself, then your body can send less cells to heal the wound compared to when the cells are smaller. You need more cells when you are smaller then when you have the larger cells.
Are the cells of a smaller organism smaller or larger?
This is a good time for "Yes... and no." It all depends on the type of organism.In animals, which should be the both of us (If you are a human :) all cells are generally the same size. Of course, cells like nerve cells and muscle cells might not count in the reason that they can stretch to be relatively large or be the same size as other cells. For the most part, the same types of cells (i.e. bone cells, skin cells, blood vessel cells, eye cells) are the same size even in different animals. Small animals like bugs have the same size cells as larger animals like elephants or whales or birds.Bacteria though, and other single celled organisms, have cells much smaller than animal cells. In fact, more bacteria cells are present in the human body than animal cells! So, the cells of single-celled organisms are much smaller than those of multi-celled organisms. In animals, small and large have about the same size cells.
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.
Are eukaryotic cells larger than prokaryotic cells?
They generally are due to the fact that they are much more complex than prokaryotic cells, but there are some very small Eukaroytic cells (such as the sperm: 40 microns), that are smaller than some large Prokaryotic cells (the largest found so far is 660 microns long). As a rule of thumb, though, Eukaryotic cells are larger than Prokaryotic cells.
What stores nutrients and is generally much larger in plant cells than in animals?
Vacuoles store nutrients and are generally much larger in plant cells compared to animal cells. They help regulate the cell's turgor pressure, store waste products, and maintain an acidic internal pH.
Is an Elephant large because it has large cells?
No, an elephant is not large because it has large cells.
Do large animals have llarger cells then small animals?
No they do not. They all have the same size of cells.
Do larger animals have larger cells than small animals?
No they don't but they do have a larger number of cells, of course.
What organelle has a large version in plant cells and a smaller version of itself in animal cells?
The vacuole. Most animals, however, do not have vacuoles and when I took biology I was confused when my teacher told me this. But yes to answer your question the organelle that is larger in plants than in animals is the vacuole.
Are the cells in a large potato larger than the cells in a small potato?
No, the size of the cells in a potato is generally similar regardless of the size of the potato. The difference in size between a large and a small potato is due to the number of cells present, not the individual cell size.
Are bacterial cells larger then plant and animal cells?
No, bacteria have much smaller cells, generally, than plants and animals.
How are plant cells and animals cells different?
animals cells don't have cell walls and don't photosynthesis. Plant cells have cell wall,large vacuole and chloroplasts
How are animals and plant cells differences?
animals cells don't have cell walls and don't photosynthesis. Plant cells have cell wall,large vacuole and chloroplasts
How are plants and animals cells different?
animals cells don't have cell walls and don't photosynthesis. Plant cells have cell wall,large vacuole and chloroplasts
Are large vacuoles found in plants or animals?
Plant cells
Why must large animals have a respiratory system?
Large animals need a respiratory system to efficiently supply oxygen to all cells in their bodies and remove waste gases like carbon dioxide. The larger the animal, the more cells it has that require oxygen, so a dedicated respiratory system is essential for meeting their metabolic demands.
What organelle does animal cells have that plant do not?
Plant cells have these which animal cells don't:chloroplastscell wallsvery large vacuoles (animals cells have small ones).
