Question

Which of the following is true for an ant being smaller than an elephant?

• A. Cells of elephants are larger in size
• B. Cells of elephants are larger in volume
• C. Cells of an elephant have a higher mass
• D. The number of cells in an elephant is more

Answer 1

The correct option is D

The number of cells in an elephant is more

Animals can vary in size, but they're alike in one way. The individual cells that compose all of their bodies -- from ants to people to elephants -- are roughly the same size. Elephants just have many more cells than ants. An organism increases in size when the cells divide and make more cells. An increase in the size, mass or volume of cells does not increase the size of an organism considerably.
