If a cell gets too big it won't be able to get rid of metabolites and acquire nurishment from the environment and end up dead. Metabolites and nurishment get to the cell through cell membrane, nurishment is needed for every thing insede the cell and metabolites are made by all metabloic reactions inside the cell. Thinking geometrically, it's ratio of volume to perimeter that matters, when cell grows it's volume increases faster than perimeter (membrane) and, thus it is at some impossible for the membrane to do it's job properly.
What else can I help you with?
Does small animals have small cells?
No, all multicellular organisms have the same size cells.
Are the cells in a large potato larger than the cells in a small potato?
No, the size of the cells in a potato is generally similar regardless of the size of the potato. The difference in size between a large and a small potato is due to the number of cells present, not the individual cell size.
Do large animals have llarger cells then small animals?
No they do not. They all have the same size of cells.
Which is not a reason cells stay small?
We can not give you an answer as you do not give a choice. However, cells stay small because they are the right size to function properly. Perhaps you can select an answer from that.
Why is a cheek cell so small?
Cheek cells are small because they are specialized epithelial cells that line the inside of the mouth and are designed for protection and absorption rather than size. Their small size allows them to efficiently cover the surface area of the cheek and perform their functions effectively.
Does small animal have small cell?
All living things are made up of cells. Because they are small in size does not mean that their cell size is small. Generally cells are the same size between organisms.
Does small animals have small cells?
No, all multicellular organisms have the same size cells.
Are the cells in a large potato larger than the cells in a small potato?
No, the size of the cells in a potato is generally similar regardless of the size of the potato. The difference in size between a large and a small potato is due to the number of cells present, not the individual cell size.
Why is cell division important as related to the size of cells?
Cell division is important as related to the size of cells. This is because cell division will take a lot longer in larger cells.
Do large animals have llarger cells then small animals?
No they do not. They all have the same size of cells.
Are animal cells large or small?
Animal cells can vary in size, but they are generally small, with most ranging from 10 to 30 micrometers in diameter. However, there are exceptions, such as the egg cell, which can be significantly larger in size.
Why are the capillaries very small in size?
they are blood vessels that reachout to the cells
Why are the capillaries very small size?

Cells are of small size because of consideration of?
Cells are of a small size because of consideration of the proportional relationship between surface area and volume. The size of cells also becomes a benefit when considering the rate at which cells die and are being replaced.
Which is not a reason cells stay small?
We can not give you an answer as you do not give a choice. However, cells stay small because they are the right size to function properly. Perhaps you can select an answer from that.
What limits most cells to a vary small size?
surface tension of plasma membrane
What limits most cells to a small size?
The surface area-to-volume ratio of the cell.
