What happens when a cell grows to be too large?

Biology

Ainat [17]3 years ago

Well, if a cell grows too large the surface area is out of proportion, and the cell would have too much trouble getting materials from one place to the other because it would have to travel further through the cytoplasm. Also, the same thing with the wastes... it would take too long to get it out of the cell because of the length it has to travel... does that make sense? So if a cell was smaller and had less volume, the materials would have less distance to travel and everything would work at a reasonable rate.

Answer:

If this is an animal cell, the cell will likely burst.

If this is a plant cell, the cell will most likely not burst, but increase in turgor pressure.

Plant cells usually don't rupture because they have a cell wall surrounding the cell. Animal cells do not have a cell wall, and thus the plasma membrane may uncontrollably expand to the point of bursting.

kupik [55]
Hutton's ideas were diametrically opposed to much of this contemporary theory. He asserted that many rocks had indeed been formed by sedimentary processes—i.e., that rock particles had been washed off the land into the oceans, had accumulated in beds there, and had solidified into rocks.

dem82 [27]

The nurse should teach parents that the most important influence on the eating habits of early school-aged children is the example of parents and siblings at mealtimes. While children may be influenced by some few other factors, they are most likely to be influenced by the example and atmosphere provided by their parents more than any other thing.

Why dont plants photosynthesise in the dark
nignag [31]

Plants respire all the time, whether it is dark or light, because their cells need energy to stay alive. But they can only photosynthesize when they have light.

The oxidation of water occurs during photosynthetic electron transport during the light reactions of photosynthesis. In the absence of a source of light energy (dark reactions have no direct requirement for light energy), oxygen is not produced.
