Question

Do you think the cells of an elephant would be larger than the cells of a rat ? Explain briefly.

Answer 1

The cells of elephant would not be larger than the cells of rat only number of cells differ.

The size of the cells does not decide the size of the organism. It is the number of cells that differ and make the difference in sizes of different organisms. So beacuse the size of the cells in different organisms does not vary an elephant won't have larger cells than a rat. It has more number of cells as compared to the number of cells in a rat. But the size of the cells are same..!
