Single-celled organisms lack specialized organs and systems to support a larger size efficiently. They rely on diffusion for nutrient exchange and waste removal, limiting their size due to surface area-to-volume constraints. Without complex structures like circulatory and respiratory systems, they struggle to maintain internal balance in larger sizes.
