Answer:

Size and shape of the cell can help you determine healthy vs. non-healthy cells.

A normal cell also has a large cytoplasmic volume, with a controlled growth. The opposite is true for cancer cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

The overall size and shape of cancer cells are often abnormal. They may be either smaller or larger than normal cells. Normal cells often have certain shapes that help them do their jobs. Cancer cells usually do not function in a useful way and their shapes are often distorted.
