This answer revolves around Surface-area to volume reatio. Volume of a cell always increases faster then the SA. THis limits cells size because the plama membrane can not withhold such a large mass. the SA cannot be larger than 1000 um and the cell membrane still perform all the necessary processes to keep the cell alive and survive in its environment.
