* Species Variation: Different monkey species have different sizes. A tiny marmoset will have far fewer cells than a large gorilla.
* Individual Variation: Even within the same species, individuals can vary in size and therefore cell count.
* Dynamic Nature: The number of cells in an organism is constantly changing throughout its life. Cells are being created, dying, and replaced all the time.
Instead of a specific number, we can talk about estimates and general concepts:
* Trillions of Cells: Like humans, monkeys are made up of trillions of cells.
* Cell Number vs. Body Size: Generally, larger animals have more cells.
* Cell Differentiation: These cells are specialized to perform different functions, creating tissues and organs.
