They are more metabolically acitve then larger cells because they have a smaller surface area to volume ratio then the larger cells which means the enzymes and proteins can move around faster and this makes the cell metabolically active.

Why do cells that make up the different tissues have different shapes and sizes?

Cells in different tissues have different shapes and sizes because they are specialized to perform specific functions. For example, muscle cells are elongated to generate force and movement, while red blood cells are small and rounded to efficiently transport oxygen. The shape and size of cells are dictated by their specific roles and requirements within the tissue they belong to.


Why is it necessary for cells to be different shapes and sizes?

Cells have different shapes and sizes to fulfill specific functions within an organism. The shape and size of a cell determine its ability to perform certain tasks, such as movement, absorption, or secretion. This diversity allows for the efficient functioning of different tissues and organs in multicellular organisms.


When ATP said sizes active it adds a prostrate group to what Molecules?

When ATP is said to be active, it typically refers to its role in transferring a phosphate group to other molecules, a process known as phosphorylation. This transfer primarily occurs to proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, which can alter their function and activity. The addition of a phosphate group can activate or deactivate enzymes, influence signaling pathways, and affect metabolic processes in cells.

What sizes do cells come in?

Cells can vary in size depending on the type of cell and organism. In general, most cells range from 1 to 100 micrometers in diameter. Some of the largest cells, such as egg cells, can be visible to the naked eye, while others, like bacteria, are much smaller and require a microscope to see.
