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.

No, the size of the animal doesnt matter. But the larger animal will have more cells, not larger ones.

All animals have the same size of cells because a large cell is inefficient and we have evolved to where our cells are just the right size to have the greatest efficiency. Save

What is one benefit to an organism of being large?

It takes less cells to do the job. If you cut yourself, then your body can send less cells to heal the wound compared to when the cells are smaller. You need more cells when you are smaller then when you have the larger cells.


What are three structures that plant cells have that animal cells lack?

The animals cells do not have a cell wall whereas plant cells do. The plant cells have a large vacuole with cell sap whereas animal cells have many small vacuoles with no cell sap. The plant cells have chloroplast whereas animal cells do not.


What stores nutrients and is generally much larger in plant cells than in animals?

Cell membrane


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.


What structure is found mostly in green plant cells but not in animal cells?

What organelle has a large version in plant cells and a smaller version of itself in animal cells?

The vacuole. Most animals, however, do not have vacuoles and when I took biology I was confused when my teacher told me this. But yes to answer your question the organelle that is larger in plants than in animals is the vacuole.
