As cells grow larger, they can have difficulty efficiently absorbing nutrients and expelling waste due to their increased volume compared to surface area. This can lead to issues with maintaining proper cellular function and metabolism. Additionally, larger cells may face challenges in efficiently transporting molecules and maintaining structural integrity.

Cells are limited in size by the?
surface area to volume ratio. As a cell increases in size, its volume increases faster than its surface area, leading to problems with nutrient exchange and waste removal. This ultimately limits how large a cell can grow.
During which main phase of the cell cycle do mitosis abd cytokinesis occur?
Mitosis and cytokinesis occur during the M phase (mitotic phase) of the cell cycle. This phase is characterized by cell division, where the cell replicates its DNA and divides into two daughter cells.
What happens to a cell if it does not grow?
If a cell does not grow, it may not be able to carry out its normal functions, reproduce, or repair damage effectively. The cell's ability to respond to its environment and adapt to changes may also be compromised. Overall, lack of growth can lead to impaired cell function and potentially cell death.
Reproduction would not occur if which part of a cell was removed?
The Cell Membrane
If mitosis occurs in a cell but cell division does not occur what is the result?
The result would be a cell with double the usual amount of DNA, known as a cell with a polyploid genome. This can lead to cellular dysfunction and potential cell death.
Why does the cell cycle occur?
So you can grow. It also helps repair damaged or old cells.
Why is it important for cell to divide?
If cells do not divide properly, then many problems can occur, cancer cells for example.
The main environmental factor that causes problems for cells in fresh water?
The diffusion of water into the cell causing the cell to grow, sometimes to dangerous levels.
Does Cell division solves the problem of cell growth by increasing cell volume?
No, cell division technically decreases cell volume. Cells aren't happy if the cytosol to cell membrane ratio is out of whack--as would occur if a cell were to grow too big. Many important cell processes are tethered to the membrane, and many reactions that occur in the cytosol require input signals from membrane-anchored proteins.
Why must the cell go through G2 phase?
To grow and detect problems.. Its Britt from vowles 2010 hope i helped you:]
What does not occur in plants cell mitosis but does occur in animal cell mitosis?
Astral rays does occur in animal cells not in plant cell

Do cells grow when you grow?
Your growth is cell growth (and cell division).
What type of cell does cell respiration occur in?
plant cell
What are the tissue changes through age?
When you are growing, your cells go through processes or mitosis and myosis, which allows cell division to occur. One of the purposes of cell division is growth. All four tissue types are composed of cells which undergo myosis and mitosis and grow. Ergo as you grow, and get older, your tissue grow and get older as well.
