there are no limits because a cell is as small as it can be already or it can grow bigger
The surface area-to-volume ratio of the cell.
The surface area-to-volume ratio of the cell.
A cell with a surface area that limits its size is called a small cell or a cell with a high surface area-to-volume ratio. This ratio influences the efficiency of nutrient absorption and waste elimination in the cell.
cell size is limiteb by the ratio of the suface area to volume as the cell becomes longer this rate decreases at some size a cells suface area will become too small for materials to enter the cell quickly enough to meet the cells need
Cells could only hold so much volume. If it is too big or too small the cell will not be able to function or work right.

As they lack a vascular system ( and therefore no true roots either) any water and nutrients must be passed from cell to cell by diffusion - a slow and inefficient method which limits their size. But aren't they beautiful under a microscope
The limits of cell growth are typically determined by the availability of nutrients and growth factors in the environment, as well as the capacity of the cell to efficiently remove waste and manage cellular processes. Additionally, cell growth can be limited by physical constraints such as lack of space or excessive crowding in a tissue or culture.

Animal cell or plant cell?? Cause I know that in plant cell, it's the cell wall which prevents the cell from bursting.
The size of the cell is limited because of surface to volume ratio. It has limits such as environmental factors. Small animal have no trouble exchanges gases but the extremely large King Kong would not have enough surface area in the lungs to function at all.
A cell is small because small is a lot! Cells are not always the same size. Cell sizes vary for different cell types in the same species. A chicken egg that we eat is a cell.
