Which of the following statements are NOT true? a) The number of cells in an elephant is more than number of cells in a monkey b) The size of cells in an elephant is larger than size of cells in a monkey c) Shape of cells in an elephant is different than shape of cells in a monkey

Which of the following statements are NOT true? a) The number of cells in an elephant is more than number of cells in a monkey b) The size of cells in an elephant is larger than size of cells in a monkey c) Shape of cells in an elephant is different than shape of cells in a monkey Correct Answer b and c

The correct answer is b and c.

Key Points

  • The size of the organism is not determined by the size of the cells. 
  • It is the number of cells that differs and determines the size of various organisms. 
  • The cell size of a monkey and that of an elephant are nearly identical. Hence, statement b is false.
  • A large organism, such as an elephant, has many more cells than a smaller organism, such as a monkey. Hence, statement a is true.
  • The cells of an elephant are not larger than those of a rat; only the number of cells differs.
  • The shape of the cells of the monkey and the elephant are similar. Hence, statement c is false.
