Is Water a Require?
Sally Kohn: You start to speculate here on the evolutionary benefits of less of the cell being taken up by stuff and more of it being available for fluids. And I'm curious to hear about how this links to why you're going to find cells of different sizes occupying different niches and in different environments. How that might yield some predictions about where you'regoing to find very small cells, where you'll find very large cells and so on? She says we may be able to predict how much water you need thinking about these diffusive constraints. Skelton: It's really interesting what they have done to follow up is what they've done to get smaller genomes.
