Do you think the cells of an elephant would be larger than the cells of a rat? Explain briefly.
It is not always necessary that large animals do have large number of cells instead they have more or less of them. It was found in the studies that almost all cells are same in size except some cells such as brain cells and fat cells tend to be larger in large animals. More the number of cells, bigger is the size, lesser the number of cells, smaller is the size. Elephant's body cells are not larger, there are more of them which shows from their body size.
