But in a very large cell, the streams of cytoplasm must travel farther to bring materials to all parts of cell.


The surface area to volume ratio needs to be small in order for the cell to survive. Cells eat and poop through their membrane, so when there is not enough membrane to feed and extract waste from the volume of the cell, it divides.
