What limits the maximum size of a cell

Biology

Oliga [24]3 years ago

The primary limitation on the size to which a single cell can grow is a mathematical principle called the surface to volume ratio. As the size of a three-dimensional object grows, its volume increases more rapidly than its surface does, which causes metabolic problems for cells. Additionally, the amount of cytoplasm the nucleus can contain and the structural limitations on the cell prevent them from being larger as well.

<span>Although salmonella typhi is known to be a disease caused by the ingestion of infected fecal matter, that fecal matter is often found on food items because of improper hygiene on the part of field workers harvesting crops which are then possible eaten raw.
