same.
Group 2 says that an Elephant’s cells grow bigger and
bigger and the cells are all bigger than a mouse’s cells.
Group 3 says that an Elephant has more cells than a mouse,
but since Elephants and mice are different organisms, their
cells are very different and have different organelles and
parts.
Which group do you agree most with? Explain and give
some evidence or reasons to support your answer.
