They're both vital for life on Earth, so there's really no answer to that question.

When a cell engulfs large fragments of water it is called?

When a cell engulfs large fragments of water, it is called "pinocytosis." This process involves the cell taking up extracellular fluid and any solutes dissolved in it by invaginating its membrane to form small vesicles.


Is several small cells that have more surface area than a large cell true or false?

True. Several small cells have greater surface area compared to a single large cell, which allows for more efficient exchange of nutrients and waste products with the environment. This increased surface area facilitates quicker uptake of essential materials and removal of waste, which is essential for the cell's survival and function.


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.


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.


Which structure is the assembly site of large and small ribosomal subunits?

The nucleolus is the assembly site of large and small ribosomal subunits. It is a structure inside the nucleus of a cell where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal proteins are synthesized and assembled into ribosomes.

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

Why is a specialized group of small cells better than one large cell with the same volume one large?

It has more cell structures


Why is a specialized group of small cells better than a large cell 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.
