Most cells range between ten and fifteen micrometers in diameter, however, some cells, such as the human egg cell, are much larger than this, with a diameter of roughly 100 micrometers. The human egg cell is just barely visible to the naked eye.
Cells, although they range in size and shape, cannot become too large, or they may become unable to support their own functions, or could burst. So there is a maximum size that a cell can be or they will not work.
