If a cell becomes too large, diffusion is too slow to provide the interior of the cell with proper nutrients. The DNA of the cell can not be copied fast enough, and the larger a cell is the less surface area the cell has.

In order to grow and survive cells need information from their DNA and nutrients from their environment When a cell gets too big however what does it tend to do?

When a cell gets too big, it tends to stop growing. This is because the cell's surface area-to-volume ratio becomes too small to efficiently take in nutrients and remove waste. This limitation can lead to impaired function and ultimately cell death.


What happens to the rate of diffusion when a cell gets to big?

It explodes


What is the solution to the problems cause by cell growth?

Mitosis. The cell splits when it gets too big.


What do you think happens to the inside of the cell as the outside gets bigger or grows?

What does a cell that has gotten too big tend to do?

When a cell becomes too big, it may have difficulty efficiently transporting nutrients and waste products across its cell membrane. This can impact the cell's ability to function properly, leading to decreased efficiency in processes like metabolism and ultimately may result in cell death.


Why can't a cell be as big as a house?

A cell has to be able to maintain homeostasis. The cells surface area to volume ratio has to be maintained. If a cell gets too big, it will not be able to take in enough nutrients and remove metabolic waste in order for it to keep up with the increasing volume. The volume of the cell gets too big and without being able to maintain a balance or ( homeostasis), a cell may in turn die.
