size don't matter because all the cells are in the same size.so the number of cells matter.for example an elephant has so many cells so it's huge but in the case of an ant it has less number of cells so it's small

I dont think so. I heard on QI that the sperm of the common house fly is the largest cell in the animal kingdom. It is much bigger than a human female egg, which is the largest cell in the human body.

Yes. Just as in the case of body parts and organs, so also with the cells complexity of differentiation and power of division are in inverse ratio. In short the size of the cells is directly proportional to the rate and duration of growth and inversely proportional to the rate of division.

No.

In general all cells of all species are about the same size - it has to do with metabolism and diffusion rates.

Exceptions : the length of some neurons are directly related to the size of the individual - but they are just stretched processes.

Some cells are just bugger than others for no known reason - such as the neurons of certain squids.

Yes the cell size is dependent on the organism size. This is because the organism will have various cells within it which will to a greater extent be limited in terms of size by the size of the organism.

Bigger animals are bigger because they have more cells not bigger cells.

You would think that this would be so, but cells can only function up to a certain size. So, no, they are not.
