Such an organism would never be able to survive in any environment, and any ball-like characteristics would be selected out.
The organism would also not exist because there is an upper limit on the size cells can be due to physical constraints. A 120 pound single-celled human would probably have a diameter of 2-3 feet, meaning its radius is going to be about 1.5 ft. It would take too long for oxygen molecules to traverse that distance in order to reach the middle of the cell. To overcome this issue, cells need to be extremely small.

How do really big molecules get out of the cell?
Really big molecules, such as proteins or DNA, can exit the cell through a process called exocytosis. In exocytosis, the large molecule is packaged into a vesicle within the cell and then fuses with the cell membrane, releasing the molecule outside the cell. This is an active process that requires energy.

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.
How do really big molecules get out of the cell?

Do cell phones effect human?
I think you are asking if cell phones have been linked to any health problems in humans? The answer is no. There was a big media hype about radiation coming from cell phones and the potential dangers it had to "humans", but none of it turned out to be true, meaning science could not find any link between cell phone radiation and human pathology. Bottom line, cell phones are safe to use, unless you are using it to throw at someone...that could hurt.
