What parameters is most likely to limit the maximum size of a cell?The size of a cell is limited by the relationship of the cell's outer surface area to its volume or its surface area-to-volume ratio.
What are the factors that limit the size of the cell?Complete answer:
The single factor that limits the size of most of the cell is the surface volume ratio. The size of the cell gets limited by the nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio, which determines the range of control of metabolic ratio and the ratio of surface to volume.
What ratio limits the maximum size of a cell?1 Answer. The surface area to volume ratio (SA:V) limits cell size because the bigger the cell gets, the less surface area it has for its size.
