Is true that small cells have larger surface area to volume rations than do larger cells?
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
Why do smaller cells have a greater surface area to volume ratio?
If the cells are spherical, the surface area increases as the square of the radius while the volume increases as the cube of the radius. Therefore, as the cells become larger, their volumes increase much more rapidly than their surface areas. Conversely, as the cells become smaller, their volumes decrease much more rapidly that their areas and so the surface area to volume increase. With non-spherical cells the calculations are much more complex, but the general pattern still applies.
what Plant cells often have smaller surface-to-volume ratios than animal cells. How do the plant cells overcome this issue?
Plant cells overcome the issue of smaller surface-to-volume ratios with the help of the central vacuole. The vacuole pushes the organelles and other cellular materials toward the outer edges of the cell
What happens to a cells surface area to volume ratio as it gets smaller?
It increases.
What is one of these structures are the smallest?
Among various biological structures, cells are considered the smallest units of life. Within cells, organelles such as ribosomes are even smaller, functioning as the sites of protein synthesis. Additionally, molecules like DNA and proteins are smaller still, representing the fundamental components that make up these structures. Thus, while cells are the smallest living units, ribosomes and biomolecules are smaller structures within them.
Is Vacuoles smaller or larger in plant cells rather than animal cells?
It Is Larger!!
Why would engulfing these smaller prokaryotic cells be an advantage to the larger prokaryotic cells?
Engulfing smaller prokaryotic cells would provide the larger prokaryotic cells with a potential source of nutrients and energy, aiding in their survival and growth. It also prevents competition for resources and reduces predation pressure on the larger prokaryotic cells.
Growth hormones can make cells grow larger or smaller?
Growth hormones primarily signal for cells to grow larger and divide, which can result in overall tissue growth. They do not directly cause cells to shrink or decrease in size.
Are cells smaller thsn atoms?
Larger
What is the advantage of being made of many cells rather than fewer larger cells?
It allows you to respire more in the cells that you have and it means that you have more cell types and, therefore, more specialised cells to allows your body to function correctly
Are white blood cells smaller than red blood cells?
No, they are larger.
Are virus's larger than cells?
No. They are over 1,000,000 times smaller than cells!!
What are smaller than cells but larger than atoms?
Molecules are smaller than cells but larger than atoms. They are composed of atoms bonded together to form a distinct structure.
Do smaller adult human have smaller cells than larger human or just more cells?
No, cell size doesn't change.
Are virus particles larger than cells?
No. They are over 1,000,000 times smaller than cells!!
Are bacterial cells larger then plant and animal cells?
No, bacteria have much smaller cells, generally, than plants and animals.
What is advantage of having many small cells instead of one small cell?
With smaller cells, there is a greater surface area.
