Why are most cells small?
(Science)

Answer 1

If the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function. That is why cells are so small.

simpler answer: Cells are small because they need to keep a surface area to volume ratio that allows for appropriate intake of nutrients while being able to eliminate the cells waste.
