What limits the maximum size of a cell

Biology
2 answers:
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.

Pls !<br> Help!<br> How does the length of interphase compare to the length of cell division?

1.   Most land vertebrates can't drink seawater because 
nevsk [136]
<span>The correct answer is B. their kidneys can't excrete concentrated salt. Since salt is dissolved in water, the organism sends its water reserves to the kidneys to dissolve and excrete the salt but this leads to dehydration. That's why people at sea who don't know what they're doing often dehydrate themselves by drinking sea water, thinking that they're safe.</span>
