What else can I help you with?
Why can small cells exchange subtances more readily than large cells?
Small cells have higher surface area to volume ratio than larger cells.
Is true that small cells have larger surface area to volume rations than do larger cells?
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
Are bacterial cells larger then plant and animal cells?
No, bacteria have much smaller cells, generally, than plants and animals.
Why are small cells better then large cells for moving materials through membranes?
small cells have a greater surface-to-volume ratio than larger cells.
Does a big dog have bigger cells than a small dog?
A larger dog may have MORE cells than a smaller dog but they are not bigger.
What cell Stores nutrients and is generally much larger in plant cells than animals'?
Cell membrane
Why can smaller cells exchange materials faster than larger cells?
Because the materials can go through the small cell faster
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.
Are the cells in a large potato larger than the cells in a small potato?
No, the size of the cells in a potato is generally similar regardless of the size of the potato. The difference in size between a large and a small potato is due to the number of cells present, not the individual cell size.
Why cant insects be larger than animals?
they CAN be larger than animals
Are the cells of a smaller organism smaller or larger?
This is a good time for "Yes... and no." It all depends on the type of organism.In animals, which should be the both of us (If you are a human :) all cells are generally the same size. Of course, cells like nerve cells and muscle cells might not count in the reason that they can stretch to be relatively large or be the same size as other cells. For the most part, the same types of cells (i.e. bone cells, skin cells, blood vessel cells, eye cells) are the same size even in different animals. Small animals like bugs have the same size cells as larger animals like elephants or whales or birds.Bacteria though, and other single celled organisms, have cells much smaller than animal cells. In fact, more bacteria cells are present in the human body than animal cells! So, the cells of single-celled organisms are much smaller than those of multi-celled organisms. In animals, small and large have about the same size cells.
What structure is large and single in a plant cell but small and numerous in an animal cell?
The vacuoles of plant cells are much larger than the vacuoles of animal cells, however most animal cells do not have vacuoles.
