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.

Bigger cells would also need more resources, and the same quantity might not be available all the time.

The cells in your body need nutrients and other materials to stay alive To be used by your cells the materials must be?
dissloved in fluid.
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?

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.
In which of the following would there be the greatest need for osmoregulation?
Plant Cells need hypotonic enviroment in order to stay turgid because Plant cells wither in an isotonic solution because there must be an inflow of water into the cells for the plant cell to stay turgid against its cell wall.
Why do cells need to stay alive?
They need to stay alive to support the organism
Which is not a reason cells stay small?
We can not give you an answer as you do not give a choice. However, cells stay small because they are the right size to function properly. Perhaps you can select an answer from that.
Why do the blood cells stay in the capillaries?
Too small or Llams oot
What do cells need to stay alive?
Oxygen, Energy, and Nutrients
Why do think the red blood cells stay in these blood vessels?
because it can flow also blood in these blood vessels or the stay there if the cells need oxygen
Why do red blood cells stay inside capillaries?
Because they Are so small they can't get out.
How do the cells in living organisms get the resources they need to stay alive?
your body
Is it true that you can't see the cells in your body because most of them are very small?
yes. cells are very small and you need to have a microscope to see them
