Bigger cells means small surface area. This can badly impair the processes whose efficiency is determined by large surface areas. Eg., respiration, absobtion of nutrients, etc. Hence, cells grow by division rather than growing in size.

How do you describe the cells of giant kelp?

Giant kelp are eukaryotes and multicellular. Eukaryotic cells are cells with a nuclei for each cell. Multicellular organisms are living things with more than one cell.


Are unicellular organisms micro sized?

Yes, unicellular organisms are typically micro-sized, as they consist of a single cell and are often measured in micrometers. Examples include bacteria, archaea, and some protists, which are generally too small to be seen without a microscope. Their size allows them to efficiently perform all necessary life processes within a single cell. However, some unicellular organisms can be relatively large, such as certain species of algae.


What are tiny cell sized organs?

Organelles are tiny cell sized organs. The substance that runs through these tiny cell sized organs are commonly called sub-units.


For what group of organisms is cell division a form on reproduction?

Cell division is a form of reproduction for unicellular organisms, such as bacteria, archaea, and protists. In these organisms, a single cell divides to create offspring.

Is a Bulb the same thing as a cell?

A bulb is a giant embryo. It is still living, but it is multicellular. A giant cell would be a yolk thingy, or a developing chicken in its egg. A bulb is not a cell.


What are the differences between single cell organisms and multi cell organisms?

Single-cell organisms, like bacteria and yeast, are composed of a single cell that can carry out all the functions necessary for survival. In contrast, multi-cellular organisms, like plants and animals, are made up of more than one cell that are specialized to perform different functions. Multi-cellular organisms have a higher level of complexity and organization compared to single-cell organisms.
