short note on cell - shape & size
Answers
Cell size is limited by a cell's surface area to volume ratio. A smaller cell is more effective and transporting materials, including waste products, than a larger cell. Cells come in many different shapes. A cell's function is determined, in part, by its shape.
Answer:
Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things.Cells also contain the body's hereditary material and can make copies of themselves.Cells have many parts, each with a different function. Some of these parts, called organelles, are specialized structures that perform certain tasks within the cell.
Considering an animal cell, we can generalize the shape of a cell as round (spherical) or irregular. Plant cells are much more rigid and rectangular in shape. The size of a cell can be as small as 0.0001 mm (mycoplasma) and as large as six to twelve inches .
