A cubed-shaped cell could potentially grow larger than a flat cell due to its three-dimensional structure, which allows for a greater volume. This increased volume can accommodate more organelles and cellular components, facilitating larger cell size. However, the surface area-to-volume ratio is crucial; as cells grow larger, their surface area becomes less efficient for nutrient uptake and waste removal, which can limit growth. Thus, while a cubed cell may have the potential for greater size, its functionality is influenced by these factors.

Human epithelium contains a layer of cubed shaped cells. If the length, height, and width of such a cell is one micrometer (μm), what is the surface area of its cell membrane?

6μm2


If a cube shaped cell grew from 1 cm per side to 3 cm per side how much would its volume change?

The volume would be 27 times greater as 3 cubed is 27 times greater than 1 cubed, the volume would therefore be 27 centimetres cubed. 1x1x1=1 3x3x3=27

What are the disadvantages for the larger cube shaped cell compared to the smaller cell?

Larger cube-shaped cells face several disadvantages compared to smaller cells, primarily related to surface area-to-volume ratio. As cell size increases, the volume grows faster than the surface area, leading to reduced efficiency in nutrient uptake and waste elimination. This can hinder cellular metabolism and overall function. Additionally, larger cells may have more difficulty maintaining internal organization and communication within the cell due to increased distances between cellular components.


What is the shape of a plant?

A plant cell is rectangular shaped due to the cell wall. An animal cell is usually circular shaped because of its lack of a cell wall.


What cell is shaped like a cube?

What is oval shaped in an animal cell besides mitochondria?

Mitochondria are oval-shaped, double membrane organelles. Other than the fact that vacuoles are somewhat larger than vesicles, Animal cells each have a centrosome and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not.

do plant cells have the same cells as animal cells?

The answer is neither yes or no. There can be ones that are shaped the same and can also be ones that are shaped differently. There are many many many different types of cell shapes in both plants and animals. Animals have cells that are long and skinny like a string (nerve cells) and flat shaped (skin cells), irregular shaped (bone cell), square shaped, regtangle shaped (muscle cell), oval shaped, circle shaped (fat cell)..etc. Plant cell's are AS diversely shaped however they definitely don't all have the exact same shape either. However when you see a picture that's showing an animal cell and labling the organelles, it's typically shown as a circular cell and for a plant cell, it's typically a rectangle with rounded edges. Go to Google.com, type in plant cell and click on "images" then do the same with "animal cell" and see for yourself.


Is a cell larger than a organelle?

No an organelle is a structure within a cell. It cannot be larger than the cell it is inside of.
