Answer:

gets smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

as the cell gets larger. Thus, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume.As a cell's size increases, what happens to the ratio of its surface area to its volume? As a cell grows, its surface area-to-volume ratio decreases.
