There is a lower size limit to a cell because a cell has to be able to fit all of the cell parts in. There is an upper cell size limit because if the cell was too big, it would lose its cell membrane integrity.
The size of a cell is limited by its surface area-to-volume ratio. As a cell grows larger, its volume increases faster than its surface area, leading to limitations in the exchange of materials across the cell membrane. This can affect the cell's ability to maintain proper function and homeostasis.
Yes, there are often limits in place to regulate fishing activities, such as catch limits, size limits, and closed seasons to protect fish populations from overexploitation. These limits help maintain sustainable fisheries and protect the overall health of marine ecosystems.
About the size of a baketball maybe a little smaller
because like most things, cells have a limit as to how big or small they can be. they cannot be too small, or they will not have room for all their parts. they cannot be to big, or oxygen and other materials will not be able to reach the middle of the cell fast enough to keep the cell alive. also, waste must be able to leave. NOTE: ( i got this info from my science book )
The size and genetic material of the molecule.
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
The cell membrane is the answer! Thanks for asking!
The surface area-to-volume ratio of the cell.
The surface area-to-volume ratio of the cell.

The surface area-to-volume ratio limits the size of single-celled organisms. As a cell grows larger, its volume increases at a greater rate than its surface area, making it harder to exchange nutrients and waste efficiently. This constraint impacts the cell's ability to maintain proper functioning and limits its size.
there are no limits because a cell is as small as it can be already or it can grow bigger
Diffusion and osmosis limit the size of a cell by restricting the rate at which molecules can move across the cell membrane. As the cell grows larger, the distance that molecules must travel to reach the center of the cell increases, slowing down the process of nutrient intake and waste removal. This puts a cap on the cell's size and limits its ability to function efficiently.
surface area to volume ratio. As a cell increases in size, its volume increases faster than its surface area, leading to problems with nutrient exchange and waste removal. This ultimately limits how large a cell can grow.
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
Prey size and availability.
