Yes. Both plant and animal cells move with little string-like "tails" called flagellum. With these, they move just like a shark. They whip it from side to side to move.

Plant cells can move through processes such as cytoplasmic streaming, where the cytoplasm flows in a coordinated manner within the cell. Additionally, plant cells can change shape and expand or contract to facilitate movement. Some plant cells also have specialized structures like root hairs or leaf stomata that help in movement and interaction with their environment.

They don't. plant cells have cell wall (animal cells don't) these cell walls cause the plant to be ridged, so they can't move.

Why do plant cells have different parts to animal cells?

because plants can't move animals do!


Why are animal cells different from plant cells?

a plant cell has a cell wall and an animal cell doesn't if it did the animal wouldn't be able to move.


Which structure are common to both plant cells and animal cells?

Both plant nd animal cells have:Cell surface membraneCytoplasmNucleus(GCSE and above: mitochondrion)(ribosomes, represented as small dots)Hope this helps :)


Why do plant cells have cell walls and animal cell dont?

Plant cells have cell walls because they need the extra protection. This is because plant cells cannot move out of the way of danger like animals can.


What characteristics does an animal cell have that a plant cell does not have?

An animal cell actually has less things than plant cells. Plant cells have cell walls used to hold the cells up and keep them sturdy while animal cells do not because it would make animals too stiff to move. Plant cells have the cell walls because they need to stand up and don't need to move.

Does a plant cell move?

well plant cells do not move. however some unicellular plants, such as chlamydomonas do move.but now they are regarded as protists not plants.


What are the communications channels that exists in cell walls that enable plant cells to interact with one another?

Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined channels between plant cells that allow materials to move among cells, but communications occur via signalling hormones that may or may not move through plasmodesmata. Some do, and others move through the matrix of cell walls that lies between the individual cells in the plant.


How does not having a cell wall affect the development of an animal cell?

By not having a cell wall (cellulose) the animal cells are not rigid. When the cells are not rigid, they can move. If animal cells would have cells walls, animals wouldn't be able to move and be static as a plant. Also cells explode without cell wall. Actually plant cells do move...the roots move slowly down into the soil and the leaves move toward the light. Animal cells do not explode without a cell wall. They are stable enough with a few proteins and cholesterol in their membranes.


Do plant cells use more energy or animal cells?

Animal cells use more energy because unlike plant cells, animal cells can move at any speed and it also runs and walk to retrieve food. This puts more strain on the animal cells than on the plant cell :)


What process allows carbon dioxide to move into the cells of plant leaves?

photosynthesis


Do animal cells need more mitochondrion than plant cells?

Your muscle certainly do. You move, that is you are motile. Plants move very little and are called sessile.
