The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger and as volume increases, surface area to volume ratio decreases. The larger a cell, the less easily it can get rid of waste and it also has more trouble getting water, nutrients and gases in. That is why we do not see giant cells. Instead we see multiple cells in larger organisms.
One way to increase surface area is to flatten the cell. That is why red blood cells are flat discs, instead of spheres. Another way is elongation. That is why many bacteria are rod shaped, and why neurons are elongated. In fact, the human body relies on the same principle to adapt to climate. Long tall and lean folks with long arms and legs live in East Africa, because such shapes increase surface area to get rid of excess body heat to avoid heat strokes. Europeans and Asians adapted to cold climates, in contrast, have shorter arms and legs and rounder torsos to minimize surface area. to conserve body heat.
Lactic fermentation occurs in many organisms, but only during a specific process known as anaerobic respiration. Muscles usually receive energy through a process known as cellular respiration[15], but when there is a lack of oxygen in the organism, muscles go through anaerobic respiration.
Hope this helps :) !
Due to the high surface tension, the lungs remain crushed and you will not be able to breathe first.
During fertilization, the sperm and egg combine in one of the fallopian tubes to form a zygote. The zygote then descends the fallopian tube into a morula. Upon reaching the uterus, the morula becomes a blastocyst. The blastocyst then burrows into the inner wall of the uterus. This is a process called implantation.
The prenatal development process occurs in three major stages. The first two weeks after conception are called the germination period, the third to eighth weeks are called the fetal period, and the period from the ninth week to birth is called the fetal period.

When a cell needs energy it gets from the food that we eat and works like as usual.
