Why are cells limited in size? 6. click on the animation. a cell with 2cm sides has what surface what volume? 7. what would be the surface to volume ratio? 8. a cell with a large volume will have a more difficult time doing what?

Cells are limited in size to maximize efficiency (accessing nutrients and getting rid of waste as well as decreasing the chances that information will become erred).
A cell with 2cm sides has a surface area of 2cm x 2cm x 6 = 24 cm^2
Volume would be 2cm x 2cm x 2cm = 8cm^3
Surface area : Volume = 24:8 or 3:1
A cell with a large volume will have more difficulty accessing nutrients and getting rid of waste quickly and transferring information that has no mistakes in it
