$HEY THERE!!$

As cells increase in size, the surface area and volume do not usually increase proportionally to length.It actually decrease. The greater the diameter of a single-celled organism, the lower the surface area to volume ratio. It is this relation that restricts the size of a particular cell.

HOPE IT HELPED YOU.

Hi!

Recalling what you have learned about cells, you marvel at the ability of these tiny things to support their life functions. You then remember that they could not easily get much bigger without drastic changes. Explain why cells are so small, considering the relationship between surface area and volume for objects of different sizes but similar shapes.

Answer:

The reason cells are so small is because the fact that they need to diffuse through other materials more efficiently.
