You are a scientist modifying cells to have optimum efficiency of exchange across the plasma membrane. Would it be beneficial to just greatly increase the cell size and therefore increase the amount of membrane? Why/why not?
The organism is the individual entity that embodies the properties of life. It is classified into unicellular organism such as protists, bacteria and archaea and multicellular organism such as plants, animals and fungi.
The cell is the basic, fundamental and biological unit all living organism. It consists of many internal structures called organelles that are embedded in the semifluid called as cytoplasm. The organelles are nucleus, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, mitochondria, chloroplast endoplasmic reticulum. Each of the organelles performs specific functions within the cell. The cells are covered by the outer covering called as plasma membrane in animals whereas in plants it is covered by cell wall made up of cellulose.
