Yes, larger cells generally require more oxygen and nutrients than smaller cells due to their greater volume and metabolic demands. As cell size increases, the surface area-to-volume ratio decreases, making it less efficient for larger cells to transport nutrients and oxygen in and waste products out. This can limit their overall size and efficiency, which is why many cells remain small to maintain effective exchange with their environment.
What else can I help you with?
Why can oxygen across a cell membrane but a protein cannot?
Because an oxygen atom is very small and a protein is made up of lots of atoms and is therefore very large by comparison.
What is an organelle that uses oxygen to convert nutrients into energy that can be used by the cell?
mitochondria
Why can oxygen defuse across a cell membrane but protein cannot?
Because an oxygen atom is very small and a protein is made up of lots of atoms and is therefore very large by comparison.
Why is a blood cell a specialised cell?
It is because it is motile and carries nutrients e.g oxygen round the entire body.
What allows nutrients and oxygen to pass into body cells?
Nutrients and oxygen pass into body cells through a process called diffusion. This process allows these substances to move from areas of higher concentration (outside the cell) to areas of lower concentration (inside the cell) through the cell membrane. Once inside the cell, nutrients and oxygen are utilized for various cellular functions.
What does blood carry to every cell in the body?
oxygen and nutrients
Does it become more difficult for a cell to get enough oxygen and nutrients when a cell divides?
Yes it does becomes more difficult for the cell to get enough oxygen and nutrients
In the human body oxygen is absorbed by the lungs and nutrients are absorbed by small intestine. in a single celled organism this absorption diretectly involves the?
In single-celled organisms, such as amoebas, absorption of gases and nutrients occurs directly through the cell membrane via a process called diffusion. The cell membrane allows small molecules to pass through, enabling the organism to take in oxygen and nutrients from its environment. This process is essential for the cell's survival and energy production.
What is the vacule in a animal?
Do you mean vacuole? if so, then in an animal cell, they are organelles that store water and nutrients. In an animal cell there is usually a few small vacuoles. In a plant cell, there is one large one called the large central vacuole.
Does every cells needs oxygen and nutrients?
Yes, every cell in the body requires both oxygen and nutrients to survive and carry out its function. Oxygen is needed for cellular respiration to generate ATP, the cell's energy source, while nutrients provide the building blocks for cell growth and maintenance. Without a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients, cells would not be able to function properly and would eventually die.
Why can oxygen across a cell membrane but a protein cannot?
Because an oxygen atom is very small and a protein is made up of lots of atoms and is therefore very large by comparison.
What substance must pass through a cell's membrane for the cell to continue to function?
Oxygen is essential for cellular respiration, the process by which cells produce energy. Oxygen passes through the cell membrane into the cell and is used in the mitochondria to generate ATP, the cell's energy currency. Without oxygen, the cell's ability to produce energy is compromised, leading to cell dysfunction and potentially cell death.
Do arteries allow diffusion of oxygen and nutrients across their cell layers?
capillaries
What is an organelle that uses oxygen to convert nutrients into energy that can be used by the cell?
mitochondria
Why can oxygen diffuse across a cell but a protein cannot?
Oxygen is much smaller than a protein.proteins are too largeDifference in size
Why can oxygen defuse across a cell membrane but protein cannot?
Because an oxygen atom is very small and a protein is made up of lots of atoms and is therefore very large by comparison.
Why is a blood cell a specialised cell?
It is because it is motile and carries nutrients e.g oxygen round the entire body.
