No, cells cannot get big enough to cover New York City.
A cell is dependent on nutrients and other molecules diffusing into the cell. This process works most efficiently when the surface area to volume ratio is higher. If there were a cell the size of a person, the necessary nutrients would not diffuse fast enough for cell function.
If a cell membrane is not large enough to accommodate sufficient channels for nutrient intake and waste removal, the cell would struggle to maintain homeostasis. Insufficient nutrient uptake would lead to energy deficits and impaired cellular functions, while the accumulation of waste products could become toxic, ultimately resulting in cell damage or death. This imbalance would hinder the cell's ability to grow, divide, and respond to environmental changes effectively.
An example of a large cell is an ostrich egg cell, which is one of the largest single cells found in nature. It is large enough to be visible to the naked eye and contains all the necessary components for early embryonic development within its structure.
An example of budding reproduction is in yeast cells, where a small daughter cell grows out from the parent cell until it is large enough to break off and become an independent organism. This process allows for rapid clonal reproduction in favorable conditions.
When a cell becomes too large, the cell membrane may not be able to efficiently transport nutrients and waste materials due to its limited surface area relative to the cell volume. This can lead to difficulties in maintaining cell functions and may result in cell death.
No because if it takes 50 human cells for the dot for the letter I it can't cover New York City
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Surface_area_is_an_important_factor_in_limiting_cell_growth_because the cell may become too large to take in enough _____food______ and remove enough ____wastes.____
Yes it does becomes more difficult for the cell to get enough oxygen and nutrients

The cell might have difficulty supplying nutrients and expelling enough waste products.

The cell has more trouble moving enough nutrients & wastes across the cell membrane.

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
Yes, plant cells become firm when they are fully hydrated with water. The central vacuole within the plant cell fills with water, providing turgor pressure that pushes against the cell wall, making the plant cell firm. This turgor pressure helps support the plant's structure and allows it to stand upright.
If it is a number that is in the cell that is not wide enough, Excel will fill the cell with # symbols. If it is text in the cell, either the text will only show what can fit in it if the next cell has something in it, or it will spill out across the neighbouring cells if they are empty, though the text will not actually be in those neighbouring cells.
