Figure 1 Limiting component model for organelle size control. Compared to a large cell (A) which produces a large structure (B), a cell half the size (C) would start out with half as many monomers and would thus form a structure half the size (D). Such a mechanism automatically produces linear scaling of organelle volume with cell volume without requiring any sort of measurement system.
