This is a very good question. Take the human being as an example. At first there is only one cell formed. Then it will divided into number of cells and become a baby. This division is essential for the formation of different parts of the body. The cells formed different muscles of the different parts. So the dividing cell process is essential for living things.

Which has the greater surface area one large cell or 27 smaller cells?

27 smaller cells would have a greater surface area than one large cell. This is because the total surface area of the smaller cells would be greater due to the additional surface area of the cell membranes around each individual cell.


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.


Are chromosomes larger than a cell?

Typically, chromosomes are not larger than a cell. Chromosomes are made up of DNA and proteins and are found within the nucleus of a cell. Cells contain many chromosomes, each of which is a long, coiled molecule.
