In general, the technology that scales to the smallest cell size will end up being the least expensive per bit.
Gastrotrichs develop to a particular number of cells; further growth comes only from an increase in cell size.
This difference is large for highly mobile users and small cell sizes.
When mature, the cell size is approximately 4.9μm to 6.6μm.
The cell size, 53 groups of eight bits, became an industry standard last year.
The current edition of the standard uses a numerical code to show the cell size.
There are various effects on cell size and growth characteristics.
Certain disorders, however, cause a significant variation in cell size.
This is because as the cell size is decreasing it would need to increase its surface area.
For example, higher levels of ploidy tend to be linked to larger cell size.
