Why does a cell not come in a football size?

Answer 1

cells can't be bigwould you want a 999 gazillion of football-size cells to make up your brain? would you want your head or all parts of your body make you as big or as high as the Empire State Building? that is why our cells are small.amall as they maybe but are essential to our growth and development because each of them do their own work, regardless of their size.

The average size of a cell is between 1mm to 100mm

Answer 2

A cell cannot be the size of a football because it needs to maintain a specific surface area to volume ratio to efficiently transport nutrients and waste. If a cell were that large, it would struggle to adequately exchange materials with its environment and maintain its functions. Cells are small to maximize efficiency and effectiveness in their activities.
