The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller 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

A key concept here is that an organism's volume increases to the third power as surface area increases to the second, resulting in declining S/V with increasing body size. Thus, a smaller organism has relatively more surface area through which to radiate heat with respect to its volume than a larger organism.
