Why can oxygen diffuses across a cell membrane but Protein can not?

Its too large


What happens to the cell membrane when a cell becomes to large?

When a cell becomes too large, the cell membrane may not be able to efficiently transport nutrients and waste materials due to its limited surface area relative to the cell volume. This can lead to difficulties in maintaining cell functions and may result in cell death.


Is the size of a cell limited by its relationship between its surface area and its volume?

Yes, the size of a cell is indeed limited by the relationship between its surface area and volume, known as the surface area-to-volume ratio. As a cell increases in size, its volume grows faster than its surface area, which can hinder the efficient exchange of materials (nutrients, waste, etc.) with the environment. If a cell becomes too large, it may struggle to meet its metabolic demands, leading to limitations on its size and function. This is why most cells remain small and often divide when they grow too large.


True or flase as a cell grows in size its volume increases much more rapidly than its surface area?

True. As a cell grows in size, its volume increases faster than its surface area. This is because volume increases cubically with the size of the cell (length x width x height), while surface area increases squared with the size of the cell (length x width). This can lead to issues with nutrient exchange and waste removal if the cell becomes too large.


What keeps a cell from getting to big?

But in a very large cell, the streams of cytoplasm must travel farther to bring materials to all parts of cell.The surface area to volume ratio needs to be small in order for the cell to survive. Cells eat and poop through their membrane, so when there is not enough membrane to feed and extract waste from the volume of the cell, it divides.

A cell's volume grows faster than its surface area so if cell gets too large what would happen?

If the cell's surface-to-volume ratio got too small as a result of the volume increasing faster than the surface area, the cell would no tbe able to get the nutrients it needs to survive and would die.


What does cell division prevent the cell from becoming?

Cell division prevents the cell from becoming too large, which would hinder efficient nutrient exchange and waste removal within the cell. It also prevents the cell from becoming too damaged or dysfunctional, as dividing helps maintain genetic integrity by distributing accurate copies of DNA to daughter cells.

What can happen if a cell were to get too large for the amount of DNA it has?

If a cell gets too large for the amount of DNA it has, it may struggle to effectively regulate gene expression and control cell functions. This could lead to issues with protein production, cell division, and overall cellular health. Ultimately, the cell may become dysfunctional or die.
