Well Cells are limited in size because the outside (the cell membrane) must transport the food and oxygen to the parts inside. As a cell gets bigger, the outside is unable to keep up with the inside, because the inside grows a faster rate than the outside.

Answer:

Apoptosis

Step-by-step explanation:

Apoptosis is a process that some cells go through when their embryo divides. It is programmed cell death. Apoptosis can help protect organisms from developing cancerous growths, or the uncontrolled growth/division of cells.
