Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The need to be able to pass nutrients and gases into and out of the cell sets a limit on how big cells can be. The larger a cell gets, the more difficult it is for nutrients and gases to move in and out of the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Is bigger always better for a cell? Explain. BIGGER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER. A LARGE SURFACE AREA IS BETTER FOR TRANSPORTING MOLECULES ACROSS THE CELL MEMBRANE, BUT A SMALL VOLUME IS BETTER IN TERMS OF EFFICIENCY OF TRANSPORTING MOLECULES THROUGHOUT THE CELL.
