If a cell becomes too large, diffusion is too slow to provide the interior of the cell with proper nutrients. The DNA of the cell can not be copied fast enough, and the larger a cell is the less surface area the cell has.

i dont believe that a cell can grow "too big". it may be a collection of cells together as a tumor.

Actually, cells can grow too large. I this happens their surface are will be too big for enough nutrients to get through the cell membrane and the cell will fail to function

Why can't a cell be as big as a house?

A cell has to be able to maintain homeostasis. The cells surface area to volume ratio has to be maintained. If a cell gets too big, it will not be able to take in enough nutrients and remove metabolic waste in order for it to keep up with the increasing volume. The volume of the cell gets too big and without being able to maintain a balance or ( homeostasis), a cell may in turn die.

What is cell budding?

cell budding is when a cell grows a small nub on it. then the nub gets bigger and bigger. while it is doing this it gets all the info it needs from the cell it is growing on. eventually it gets too big an comes off. it is then a new cell.
