Best Answer

Elodea and onion cells have more consistent shapes than human epithelial cells because they have cell walls. The human epithelial cells do not have defined cell walls.

First of all elodea cells are plant cells while epithelial cells are animal. Which means elodea has: a cell wall, chloroplasts, and are square shaped. Animal Cells: round, don't have cell walls just a membrane, and because they are heterotrophic they don't have chloroplasts.

The cell wall allows plant cells, like onion and elodea cells, have a more definite shape than animal cells like the cheek cells

What are the sizes of cheek epithelial cells and elodea leaf cells?

The human epithelial cells are thick and boxlike whereas elodea cells are thin and platelike. The cells of elodea are rigid and rectangular in shape.


Are human cheek epithelial cells thinner than elodea?

Yes, they are


Do chloroplasts move in elodea cells?

Today I just did a lab viewing elodea cells and human cheek cells. When I viewed the Elodea cells on the highest power, I saw chloroplasts moving. They looked like tiny green spheres moving in little groups of two or more on a set of "tracks". I hope this answers the question.


Are animal cheek cells the same shape as human cheek cells?

no


Are human epithelial cells thinner than elodea cells?

yes


Do cheek cells have vacuoles?

Cheek cells usually have a vacuole. The cheek cells are part of the human cells and are therefore classified as animal cells which usually have vacuoles.


Why do human cheek cells divide faster than normal cells?

because they have more bacteria cells, since bacteria divide faster then somatic cells.


How do human epithelial cells and elodea cells different?

Similarities between a human cell and a elodea cell?

A human cell and an elodea cell are both eukaryotic cells. They contain a membrane-bound nucleus as well as a cellular membrane.


How do you known if human cheek cells are animal cell?

Because a human is an animal!


Why are cheek cells animal cells?

All the cells collected from an animal of which the human body is are animal.


Where is a cheek cells cytoplasm located?

Cheek cells usually have a vacuole. The cheek cells are part of the human cells and are therefore classified as animal cells which usually have vacuoles.
