The size of cells determines the size of an organism?
Its food source and environment (and genetics). The more food and room an animal has to eat and move around in, the larger the animal will be, compared to the same animal in an area of less food and a smaller ecosystem. Note that this is a very generalized answer.
What happens to a animal cell when it grows?
The cells increase in size and number.
What measure determines the average size of an erythrocyte?

What does the size and shape of a cell depends on its?
it depends on the cell's function or purpose
Why a large animal and a tiny animal have cells that are the same size?
no matter what size the animal is they are always gonna have the same cell structure and cell parts . there are two types of cells plant cells and animal cells.i hope this answers your question
Do large animals have larger cells?
No. They are all similar in size. However, larger animals do have more cells. For example, there is a big brick house and a small brick house. The bricks are all the same size but, the big brick house has more bricks.
Do a plant cell have more than one vacuole?
It can, the number and size of vacuoles in animal cells varies. The vacuoles in animal cells are usually small, but some animal cells have no vacuoles at all.
Are human cells the same size as the whale cells?
Yes they are the same size. The whale is a bigger animal because there are more of the cells, not because the cells are bigger.
What do animal cells do to create new cells?
They grow twice the size, then divide into two.
How are vacuoles of animal cells different from vacuoles of plant cells?
Vacuoles in animal cells are uncommon and relatively small. If you imagine a cell as being the size of a shoebox, an animal cell vacuole would be about the size of a ping-pong ball. Vacuoles in plant cells are much bigger, if present. They give shape and form to the cells, and determine wilting. They are about the size of a pair of shoes in a shoebox.
How do animal and plant cells compare in size?
The plant cell is smaller than the animal cell
What are 2 difference between animal cells and plant cells?
Animal cells - 1 animal cells are generally small in size 2 cell wall is absent Plant cells - 1 plant cells are are larger than animal cells 2 the plasma membrane of plant cells is surrounded by a rigid cell wall of cellulose
