Although weight and mass make organisms differ from each other, it is the number of cells the organism has that makes it its size. Likewise, the more cells the organism has, the bigger it is. The number of cells, not the size of the cells, determine the weight and mass the organism has.

Example: An elephant is obviously much bigger than a bear, but due to the fact that it is composed of a greater number of cells.
