Yes, The larger a cell becomes, the more demands the cell places on its DNA. In addition, a larger cell is less efficient in moving nutrients and waste materials across the cell membrane.

Hope this helped! (:

Why diffusion and osmosis limit the size of the cell?

Diffusion and osmosis are processes by which substances move into and out of cells. As cell size increases, the distance that substances must diffuse across also increases, making it harder for cells to efficiently exchange materials. Additionally, larger cells may struggle to maintain proper osmotic balance due to increased demand on their membrane and organelles.


What increases in order for a many celled organisms to grow?

Many celled organisms grow by increasing the number and size of their cells through cell division and cell growth. This involves processes like mitosis, where cells replicate and divide to form new cells, and cellular growth, where cells accumulate more cytoplasm and organelles to increase in size. Additionally, the organism may also accumulate more cells through processes like cell proliferation or cell differentiation.


Which organelle when increased in size causes plant cells to elongate?

The cell wall when increased in size causes plant cells to elongate. This is accompanied by increase in cytoplasmic contents also. Thus, the dry weight of the cell also increases with the elongation of cell wall.


What is the probability that an allele will fix in the population as the population size increases?

As the population size increases, the probability that an allele will fix in the population also increases. This is because larger populations provide more opportunities for the allele to spread and become fixed.


What ratio increases when a cell divides into two smaller cells?

The surface area to volume ratio increases when a cell divides into two smaller cells. This is important for efficient nutrient exchange and waste removal as the cell size decreases.

How the size of the universe changed not the size or mass of the earth JUST the universe?

The Universe is continuously expanding. The distance between galaxies increases. The amount of space in the Universe increases.


Has the total number of cells in your body changed since your birth Explain?

Yes it has. In order to grow in height and weight your body needs to increase the amount of cells. Your bones need to increase in width and length in order to do this you require both more osteocytes and osteoblasts. Muscles on the other hand do not increase in cell number rather as they get larger there are surrounding satellite cells that merge with the preexisting cells. Blood vessels must increases in length which requires more endothelium cells as well as smooth muscle cells. Likewise the digestive tract and urinary tract increases in size which requires an increase in numbers of cells. Organ systems also increase in size and require more cells to do so. Hope that helps


Why do multi-cellular organisms need cell division?

They need to reproduce,increase in size. Also need to repair damaged cells


Why are cells very small explain the limits the size of the cells?

It's called the square-cube law. If an object (such as a cell) increases in size [say doubles] then its volume (or mass) goes up by the cube of the size, but its surface area increases only by the square of its size. Thus a doubling will produce a 4 fold increase in surface but an 8 fold increase in mass. Since cells depend on diffusion of molecules through its surface, it can outgrow its ability to acquire new materials (or to get ride of waste. This rule also limits the size of insects (actually all animals).


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.


How did most of a dog's size increase take place?

Increase in the amount of cells


Is surface area an extensive property?

Yes, surface area is considered an extensive property because it depends on the amount of material or the size of the object. As the size of an object increases, its surface area also increases. Extensive properties, like mass and volume, change with the quantity of the substance, distinguishing them from intensive properties, which remain constant regardless of size.


Can you measure the physical size of a resistor to determine its wattage?

there might be ways to get the power rating by measuring the size of the resistor. but as the physical size of the resistor increases, its power rating also increases..


Are the cells of a baby bigger than the cells of an adult?

No, the size of cells does not change as an individual grows from a baby to an adult. Instead, the number of cells in the body increases as more cells are produced during growth and development. Each cell retains the same size throughout a person's life.


How size of halogen anions affect their basic streangth?

As the size of halide ion increases its electron donating ability also increases so basic strength (As Lewis concept) also becomes increased.
