Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why are most cells small? Choose one or more answers.
A
Cells are limited in size by the ratio between their outer surface area and their volume.
B
Cells come in a variety of shapes.
C
The cell’s nucleus can only control a certain amount of living, active cytoplasm.
D
Most cells have a specific shape.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cells are so small because they are easier to replace, and a cell needs to be small to be able to perform the tasks a cell needs to do. If cells were bigger it would be harder for the body to replace the cell without disrupting what is going on in the body and delaying a process.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleus, formed by a nuclear membrane around a fluid nucleoplasm, is the control center of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because nucleus contains a material called gene which controls all activities of cell and its characteristics. Cell nuclei contain most of the cell’s genetic material, organized as multiple long linear DNA molecules in complex with histones, to form chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cells are considered the basic units of life in part because they come in discrete and easily recognizable packages. That’s because all cells are surrounded by a structure called the cell membrane-which, much like the walls of a house, serves as a clear boundary between the cell’s internal and external environments.
