What are the size of cells limited by?
Cell size is limited by the cell membrane surface area to cell contents volume ratio. As a cell grows it eventually reaches a point where the cell membrane is unable to transport enough materials in and out at a sufficient rate to supply the needs of the cell. Cell size may also limited by space and other environmental factors.
What makes a cell increase in size faster the cell membrane or the cell contents?
a virus
Is it true a cell's size is limited by the thickness of the cell wall?
No. Its size is limited by the cell's surface area to volume ratio. If the volume increases quicker than the surface area, the cell cannot release waste or take in nutrients as effectively. Also, the cell's DNA would not be able to keep up with the cell's functions.
Cells are limited in size by their surface Ares and what else?
Cell size is limited by volume.Surface area to volume ratio (surface area / volume)Nucleo-cytoplasmic ratioFragility of cell membraneMechanical structures necessary to hold the cell together (and the contents of the cell in place)
How do limited cell size of cells influence cell division?
When a cell grows during interphase, the surface area and volume of the cell are very important. Once the cell reaches a certain size, it can't be satisfied. This meaning that the cell cannot receive nutrients and remove wastes fast enough. Once the surface area: volume ratio is too small, then the cell must divide in order to live.
The size of a cell is limited by it's?
The size of a cell is limited by its surface area-to-volume ratio. As a cell grows larger, its volume increases faster than its surface area, leading to limitations in the exchange of materials across the cell membrane. This can affect the cell's ability to maintain proper function and homeostasis.

What effect does heat-fixing have on bacterial cell size?
it makes cell size shrink
An analogy to explain why cell size is limited?
Like an egg.
Does a cell increase in size and usually makes copies for its DNA?
True.When a cells size increases,it can't transfer enough nutrients throughout the cell if the cell size is big.So it makes copies of its DNA

a virus

What factors limit the size of a cell?
Cell size is limited by a cell's surface area to volume ratio. A smaller cell is more effective and transporting materials, including waste products, than a larger cell.

Cells are limited in size by their surface areas and what?
Cells are limited in size by their surface area-to-volume ratio. As a cell grows larger, its volume increases faster than its surface area, making it harder to efficiently exchange nutrients and waste across the cell membrane. Additionally, cells are limited in size by the efficiency of cellular processes such as DNA replication and protein synthesis.

Are cells limited in size by the rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through it's surface?
Yes. It's called the surface-to-volume ratio.
