Surface Area to Volume Ratio
As cells grow, their volume increases faster than their surface area, which can limit nutrient supply and waste expulsion.
Cellular Reproduction
The process by which cells grow and divide, allowing for growth and repair in organisms.
Diffusion
The movement of substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Efficiency of Transport Systems
Smaller cells can maintain more efficient systems for transporting substances across their membranes.
Cell Signaling Proteins
Proteins that facilitate communication within the cell, impacting cell size and function.
Interphase
The stage in the cell cycle where the cell grows, performs normal functions, and replicates its DNA.
Mitosis
The stage of the cell cycle where the cell's nucleus and nuclear material divide.
Cytokinesis
The division of a cell's cytoplasm that results in the formation of two separate cells.
G1 Phase
The first stage of interphase, where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.
S Phase
The second stage of interphase, where the cell copies its DNA in preparation for division.
G2 Phase
The third stage of interphase, where the cell prepares for the division of its nucleus.
