The maxium size of a cell must be limited otherwise it would be too hard for it to carry out all of its functions. the surface area/volume ratio decrease with size, making it increasingly harder for cells to obtain nutrients. cells are also small so that organelles are close together minimizing the amount of energy they use to transport materials.
Cell size is limited by the cell membrane surface area to cell contents volume ratio. As a cell grows it eventually reaches a point where the cell membrane is unable to transport enough materials in and out at a sufficient rate to supply the needs of the cell. Cell size may also limited by space and other environmental factors.
No. Its size is limited by the cell's surface area to volume ratio. If the volume increases quicker than the surface area, the cell cannot release waste or take in nutrients as effectively. Also, the cell's DNA would not be able to keep up with the cell's functions.
Cell size is limited by volume.Surface area to volume ratio (surface area / volume)Nucleo-cytoplasmic ratioFragility of cell membraneMechanical structures necessary to hold the cell together (and the contents of the cell in place)
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 smallest cell is about 8 microns in size.
The maximum size of a cell is limited by its need for enough surface area in order to conduct exchanges with its environment. This is referred to as contact inhibition.
Cell size is limited by the cell membrane surface area to cell contents volume ratio. As a cell grows it eventually reaches a point where the cell membrane is unable to transport enough materials in and out at a sufficient rate to supply the needs of the cell. Cell size may also limited by space and other environmental factors.

Cells are limited in size by the rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through its surface. volume increases faster than surface area and homeostasis is disrupted by a cell that is too large
a. rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through its surface.
Slab penetrations are limited to the maximum area of a single cell. One must have a structural engineer determine the viability of creating a slab penetration any larger than the size of a single cell to determine if reinforcement is necessary.

No. Its size is limited by the cell's surface area to volume ratio. If the volume increases quicker than the surface area, the cell cannot release waste or take in nutrients as effectively. Also, the cell's DNA would not be able to keep up with the cell's functions.
Cell size is limited by a cell's surface area to volume ratio. A smaller cell is more effective and transporting materials, including waste products, than a larger cell.
