This has to do with SURFACE TO VOLUME RATIO. For a typical small cell, its surface area to the volume ratio get smaller as the cell grows. This implies that, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, then the amount of nutrients that entered the cell will be limited, that is , nutrients will not be able to migrate into the cell as needed. To avoid this, the cell has to divide to reduce its surface to volume ratio.<span />

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Obese

Explanation:

Obesity can occur at any age but in recent times more and more children are becoming obese. They develop an unhealthy relationship with food from a young age. Food rather than being a source of nutrition becomes just a source of sensory stimulation.

These children often chew very fast and swallow food without properly breaking it down. Thus they are not able to realize when they are full. They ignore the internal cues for hunger or fullness and keep eating to satisfy their palate. As a result, they become obese.
