They are usually small because they need to transport nutrients across the membrane. Only particular amount can cross per/area. As the volume of cell increases, it increases in geomatrically faster than the area of the membrane.It becomes difficult to a certain point to supply the given volume with enough membrane to allow the gases/other molecules to transport across the membrane

A protein domain is another phrase describing what type of structure of a protein?.
dlinn [17]

Answer: A protein domain is a region of the protein's polypeptide chain that is self-stabilizing and that folds

independently from the rest. Each domain forms a compact folded three-dimensional structure. Many proteins consist of several domains.

One domain may appear in a variety of different proteins. Molecular evolution uses domains as building blocks and these may be recombined in different arrangements to create proteins with different functions.

In general, domains vary in length from between about 50 amino acids up to 250 amino acids in length.

The shortest domains, such as zinc fingers, are stabilized by metal ions or disulfide bridges. Domains often form functional units, such as the calcium binding EF-hand domain of calmodulin.

Because they are independently stable, domains can be "swapped" by genetic engineering between one protein and another to make chimeric proteins.
