can divide into two cells with more surface area and the same total volume. This increases the rate at which the cell can get nutrients. This experiment had a few key weaknesses. Some of these weaknesses included the use of cubes rather than spheres‚ not a living cell. There may be other reasons for cells to divide other than cell size.
