Growth in Cells
- ↑
- Cell Division
- A multicellular organism grows.
- They need proper nutrients to survive.
- A cell cannot simply get bigger, since through Osmosis a cell distributes the water to better suit the needs of the cell. Everything else including the nutrients and waste depend on the size of the cell.
- When the cell gets too big the chemicals can't move fast enough to provide for the cell. Waste doesn't move out fast enough and ends up harming the cell.
- More demands are placed on the DNA aswell.
- Surface area can not be adequate for the volume of the cell. Not allowing enough food or waste to go in or out.
