This is the exact answer:

Bacteria are helpful because they produce oxygen, which our bodies need to breathe, and they help us to digest the food we eat. Bacteria are also helpful because they are used in medicine to help us overcome disease. Bacteria are harmful because they can cause tooth decay and illnesses that can be either common or quite serious.

A cell can only grow so large in size, because
sweet-ann [11.9K]
<span>A cell can only grow so large in size because its ability to exchange materials is affected by a growing surface-to-volume ratio. Nature designed cells to be small in size because of the network of membranes passing through it. If cells grow any bigger, membranes in it will not be able to pass through its different parts and perform their purpose.


A cell is a network composed of many organelles (e.g. mitochondria, nucleus), that communicate and work together to provide bodily functions. The cell is small so that communication between organelles will be faster and much easier. When cells are small they can be easily repaired when damaged and replicated when needed.</span>
