Answer:

Cells are so small because they are easier to replace

Step-by-step explanation:

Cells are so small because they are easier to replace, and a cell needs to be small to be able to perform the tasks a cell needs to do. If cells were bigger it would be harder for the body to replace the cell without disrupting what is going on in the body and delaying a process.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A cell needs to maintain a smaller size because of the following reasons:

Cells different diffuse materials through them via cell membranes. Small cells can easily diffuse materials through them, while larger cells find it difficult.

Cells maintain a small size to maintain the proportionality of the cell surface to the cell volume. *Small-sized cells will have a surface area proportional to the cell volume.

It is easier for the cells with a small size to replicate faster than the cells with the larger size

Cells having small sizes find it easier to be replaced when damaged.

Small-sized cells can have better cell-to-cell communication.
