you'll blow up!!! :P you'll blow up!!! :P
Divide and multiply in to new cells
As a cell grows it requires more and more proteins to keep up with the tasks that are required for life. In order to create these proteins, a cell must repeatedly access it's nuclear dna. Over time the demand for quantity becomes to great for the DNA in the cell and either a crucial protein isn't made, or the DNA shears under the stress of being transcribed too often.
When a cell grows during interphase, the surface area and volume of the cell are very important. Once the cell reaches a certain size, it can't be satisfied. This meaning that the cell cannot receive nutrients and remove wastes fast enough. Once the surface area: volume ratio is too small, then the cell must divide in order to live.
The cell is spread too thin to absorb enough materials and it dies
Its too large
Cells that become too large can either block nutrients to other cells, or become a cancerous cell.
It dies because it cant create enough food to help it live.
Cell division
turtles never get too large for a shell,the shells grows with them the shell is part if there skin
Cell division prevents the cell from becoming too large.

A cell that is to large will either starve it self to death or eventually explode.

When a cell grows during interphase, the surface area and volume of the cell are very important. Once the cell reaches a certain size, it can't be satisfied. This meaning that the cell cannot receive nutrients and remove wastes fast enough. Once the surface area: volume ratio is too small, then the cell must divide in order to live.
If the cell's surface-to-volume ratio got too small as a result of the volume increasing faster than the surface area, the cell would no tbe able to get the nutrients it needs to survive and would die.
