Volume varies as the 1.5th power of the surface area of regular solids. With other well behave solids, this relationship applies as long as all three dimensions change in the same ratio - that is, the shapes are similar.

As cell size increases, the volume of the cell increases more quickly than the surface area. This is because volume increases cubically (length × width × height), while surface area increases squared (length × width). This can lead to challenges in nutrient and waste exchange for larger cells, as the surface area may not be sufficient to support the increased volume.
