The cell, as you most likely know is the smallest working part in the body. Cells, do get a bit bigger, but then undergo mitosis, the splitting of the cell.

Think about it like this. If a cell kept getting bigger and bigger.....could you imagine yourself with a gigantic lump of a cell inside you?

The cell splits so you have more of them, because every cell eventually dies, and so they can fit easily through your veins. A big cell would get stuck and cause many issues such as heart attack and strokes.

Why are specialized cells dependent on other specialized cells?

Specialized cells are dependent on other specialized cells because they need to live off other cells otherwise specialized cells wouldn't exist. Every specialized cell is designed to carry out a special function, there for we need a bunch of different specialized cells for the entire organism to survive.


Why can small cells exchange substances more readily than large cells?

Small cells have a higher surface area to volume ratio, which allows for a more efficient exchange of substances with their environment. This is because the surface area of a cell determines the rate at which substances can be exchanged, and smaller cells have a greater surface area relative to their volume compared to larger cells.


What Word Goes in There As cell size goes effectiveness of diffusion and osmosis goes This drives the cells to stay small?

Surface area. As cell size increases, the surface area to volume ratio decreases. This decreased ratio makes it harder for nutrients and waste to diffuse in and out of the cell, driving cells to stay small for efficient diffusion and osmosis.


Why is a microscope needed to view most cells?

Because cells are too small to be seen by the human eye so people need a super magnifier to see them. Cells are microscopic.


What cells need more respiration?

Cells that need more respiration typically include those that are highly active and require lots of energy. Examples of these cells include: Cells in muscle tissue Brain cells Cells in the heart Cells in the lining of the small intestineThese cells require more respiration in order to produce the energy they need to perform their intended functions.
