Answer:

There are limits on the size of structures such as cells that depend on diffusion to interact with the environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are limits on the size of structures such as cells that depend on diffusion to interact with the environment. As cell volume increases, the area of the cell membrane does not keep relative pace. ... So the reason there are no huge cells is that therer is a limit to their size because of the surface area/volume ratio.
