Did dinosaurs have cells that were the same size of our do we have cells that are the same as an ant'?

Dinosaurs had cells similar in size to modern-day animals like us. The size of cells doesn't change much across species, but the number of cells in an organism can vary greatly. For example, ants have smaller bodies with more cells compared to us, which is why they are much smaller in size.

No. Viruses are smaller than cells. If a cell were the size of a basketball, then a virus would be about the size of a penny.

Do small animals have smaller cells?

While small animals do tend to have smaller cells in comparison to larger animals, the relationship between an animal's size and its cell size is not always direct. Cell size can vary greatly within and among species, depending on various factors such as metabolic rate, growth rate, and specific cell functions.

Are the cells of a smaller organism smaller or larger?

This is a good time for "Yes... and no." It all depends on the type of organism.In animals, which should be the both of us (If you are a human :) all cells are generally the same size. Of course, cells like nerve cells and muscle cells might not count in the reason that they can stretch to be relatively large or be the same size as other cells. For the most part, the same types of cells (i.e. bone cells, skin cells, blood vessel cells, eye cells) are the same size even in different animals. Small animals like bugs have the same size cells as larger animals like elephants or whales or birds.Bacteria though, and other single celled organisms, have cells much smaller than animal cells. In fact, more bacteria cells are present in the human body than animal cells! So, the cells of single-celled organisms are much smaller than those of multi-celled organisms. In animals, small and large have about the same size cells.
