Why do cells have to remain small?
Being large puts to much strain on thier DNA
Being larger makes it harder for the cell to move nutrients and dispose of waste
larger cells are a bigger target for dangerous pathogens
Larger cells create tumors that are bad for the body
What is the purpose of cell division in unicellular organisms?
to reproduce
to grow
to repair damaged cells
to replace dead cells
What is the purpose of cell division in multicellular organisms?
to reproduce
to grow
to repair damaged cells
to replace dead cells
