The function of the cells determine the size and shape of the cell. Cells that need more nutrients are bigger than other cells.

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.


Which is bigger a skin cell or blood cell?

This is a very vauge question. While most "germs" are smaller than skin cells (viruses and smaller bacteria) some bacteria can be larger than skin cells. Though most aren't larger than white blood cells, the body's defenders.


Which is the largest a plant cell an animal cell or a bacterial cell?

Plant cells are generally larger than animal cells, and both are significantly larger than bacterial cells. Plant cells have a rigid cell wall that provides structural support and allows them to grow larger than animal cells, which do not have cell walls. Bacterial cells are much smaller than both plant and animal cells.


Is viruses larger than bacteria and human cells?

Viruses are generally smaller than bacteria and human cells. Viruses are usually measured in nanometers (nm), bacteria are typically larger, ranging from about 1 to 10 micrometers (µm), and human cells are even larger, ranging from about 10 to 100 micrometers.


Why are Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic cells?

Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic cells because they have more complex internal structures, such as membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles require more space within the cell, resulting in an overall larger size compared to prokaryotic cells which lack these internal structures. Additionally, eukaryotic cells often need more surface area to volume ratio for cellular functions, which contributes to their larger size.

Are some cells larger than other cells?

Yes, some cells are larger than others. The size of a cell can vary depending on its function and type. For example, eggs are some of the largest cells in the human body, while red blood cells are much smaller.
