1.The cell needs to maintain a proper surface area by volume ratio which would change if it got too big.
2.Many small cells working together are more efficient than one large one.
3.If one cell dies in a multicellular organism, it doesn't matter. However, if the cell were bigger, each cell would become too important to lose.

1. The chemistry would be different if the cell was large.
2. Gravity would play a much bigger role in its behavior.
3. Communication between the cell parts would have to be re-designed.

Cells must be small so that diffusion can take place quickly. Also, cells can divide into new cells quickly.
More cells can carry out more processes simultaneously.

...the cell should always be small because if the cell undergo an abnormal growth it will become a cancerous cell and will spread out... =)
... also because since the cell is the basic unit of life and every living thing has cell and the cells will be big we will also be big... right?? hehehe=) hope you get my idea...

1. diffusion - it would take much too long for anything to diffuse in a large cell, and the cell would die in the process.
that's the main reason. all other reasons stem from this one, its the greatest limitation of size to a cell.

1.) small is light and light means you can take it with you easily...which is the point of a cell phone, being able to carry your voice and text communications with you everywhere.
2.) small means it takes up less battery life, and that means that your voice and text communications can last longer.
3.) small means it is harder to produce and spurs competitions among cell phone manufacturers to build better products for a better price.

do you think the cell is small for amoeba? no, it is relative to any kind of organism.as you are complex organism, the cell MUST be small...we tell large and small in relative to our size and experience...got it?

1. the world is not big enough for large cells to fit
2. humans wouild all be basketballl players
3. it would'ntfit in your small brain

Lol, i was about to joke on the answers too.
But, if anyone has noticed, the category is biology. DUH!!!
anyway, i have no freakin idea. cant even give one reason.

Makes them easier to carry - size wise
Makes them lighter
Makes them much cooler then something the size of your head lol...everyone wants the razr
