Do cells in an elephant have to be bigger than the cells of a rat explain briefly
Answers
Answer: The cells of rat and elephant are similar. Just because an animal is bigger in size does not mean the cell size is bigger. It only means that the number of cells is more in bigger animals than in smaller ones.
Actually, the size of the cell is not at all related with the size of an organism. In fact,' number of cells varies' [ not size] according to the size of an organism. There are limits to how large a single cell can grow. As the number of cells in the organism increases, the organism's size also increases.
Conclusion: Hence, the size of the cell is not related with the size of an organism, so, Elephant's body cells are not larger than that of the rat. But, we can say that elephant have more number of cells but not larger than rat.
