Question: How do cells determine what size to grow to before dividing

This is a super clever question 😀 so I give you credit for that first 😀 Actually bacterial growth is coordinated with cell cycle events to maintain cell size homeostasis and it is still not clear. They say that nutrients can play a role in determining the size. Most bacteria are 0.2 to 2 micrometre in size. Well done!
