Question

why does a cell divide into two smaller daughter cells when it becomes too large? because the organism needs more cells to grow to give dna in the cell more room to grow to have more available cell membrane to transfer substances such as waste in and out of the cells

Explanation:

As a cell grows larger, its volume increases faster than its surface - area - to - volume ratio. A smaller cell has a larger surface - area - to - volume ratio, which is more efficient for transporting substances like nutrients in and waste out across the cell membrane. This is the main reason cells divide when they get too large. The first option about organism growth is a general reason for cell division but not the most direct reason related to cell size. The second option about giving DNA more room is not the main factor.

Answer:

to have more available cell membrane to transfer substances such as waste in and out of the cells
