(6) A teacher asks groups of students to
describe the difference between a mouse and an
elephant. Group 1 says that an elephant has more
cells than a mouse, but all the cells in mice and
elephants are basically the same. Group 2 says
that an Elephants cells grow bigger and bigger
and the cells are all bigger than a mouses
cells. Group 3 says that an Elephant has more

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.
