Question

Wastes are poisonous to a cell and must be removed from the cytoplasm. Predict how cell size could affect the removal process and the survival of a cell.

Answer 1

Once a cell gets larger, it becomes harder to maintain and many problems like lack of DNA, membrane and organelle efficiency occur. The lysosomes normally remove toxins from a cell, but with them being less efficient, they might have trouble removing all of the wastes from a cell.
