No arthropod (insect, arachnid, crustacean or centi/millipede) can get truly large, because of two main reasons. The breathing system of arthropods consists of a network of tubes through which pure air flows to the organs. In larger animals this system would not work. It would have to fill the entire body to reach all the cells and there would be no room for organs! In a small animal, even the organs furthest away from the tubes still get oxygen because they're closer than in a large animal.
The second reason is their exoskeleton. A small insect can be covered in one, but a larger animal could not handle the weight of a proportionate exoskeleton. It would be too heavy.
Now, in the Carboniferous period, millions of years ago, there were giant arthropods - millipedes almost as long as a car, dragonflies as large as eagles - but the air was far richer in oxygen at that time, because animals were just getting onto land while plants had been there for far longer, so they'd built up massive amounts of oxygen that were only just starting to be breathed in. Also, arthropods ruled back then, not threatened by reptiles or birds, so their exoskeletons weren't as thick, either!
One ant can't really kill an elephant. Unless the elephant sees the ant, but that is kind of impossible, and has a heart attack.
It depends on how big the elephant is, how big the lorry is and what the lorry is carrying- if it is carrying anything.
12 inches
I think it might be an elephant but dont hold me to it!
it's 20 inches long it depends how big is it.
we'd be scared of them.
No, ant cells and elephant cells are not similar in size. Ant cells are much smaller in size compared to elephant cells, as ants are much smaller animals with smaller organs and tissues. Elephant cells are much larger to accommodate the size and structure of an elephant's body.
What body parts are common to an ant and an elephant? In what way do they differ

No
There is more than three: "Tall Elephant": Eleplant Ape Hen Ant Peahen Eel Or without rearranging the letters: ant, ape, elephant
It depends are you an ant or a elephant, is your an ant then it's as big as a house, if your a elephant then its the size of a marble, but if your a person then its a little smaller than a coffee mug which is 8oz
