Question

Will the size of neuron/RBC vary for a mouse and an elephant ? Why or why not ?

Answer 1

No, it is not that every cell of an elephant be larger than cells in a rat. However, the total number of cells in an elephant is greater than that in a rat. The size of cells in both the animals are same. Only number of cells differ.

Answer 2

No, the size of neuron/RBC won't vary for a mouse and an elephant, given that it is a particular type of cell. It is because the size of cell, does not depend upon the size of the living organism.

The size and shape of cell rather depends upon the function it has to perform for that particular organ.

But, the number of cells is more in an elephant than in a mouse.
