What helps the cell hold its shape if it does not have a cell wall?
The cell has a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that gives it shape. The cell membrane is rather fluid but also slightly rigid. This allows the cell to change shape but it cannot change shape very much. The membrane can seal itself if pierced by something very thin like a pin.The cell membrane holds it together as it's made of phospholipids.
What allows a cell to change its shape and move its organelles?
The cell's cytoskeleton, composed of microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments, provides structural support and allows for changes in shape. Motor proteins, such as dynein and kinesin, move organelles within the cell by walking along the cytoskeleton tracks.
May occur in the cell shape of some unicellular organisms as life functions are carried out?
Some unicellular organisms have the ability to change their cell shape to carry out life functions such as movement, feeding, or reproduction. This flexibility in cell shape allows them to adapt to their environment and perform essential tasks for survival.
Why is the animal cell does not have a fixed shape?
Animal cells do not have a fixed shape because unlike plant cells, they do not have the rigid cell wall to keep them in a specific shape. Therefore their cell membrane which is like a mere sheet allows them to be blob-like.

Why amoeba has irregular shape?
Amoebas have an irregular shape because they lack a fixed cell wall or structure. Their flexible cell membrane allows them to constantly change their shape as they move and engulf food. This shape-shifting ability helps them adapt to different environments and capture prey efficiently.
What causes cell to change shape?
microtubules
How do plant cell change their shape?
Stomata
What is meant by the following statement The cell membrane is said to be fluid.?
The cell membrane is said to be fluid because it is made up of a phospholipid bilayer that allows for movement of molecules within the membrane. This fluidity allows the cell membrane to adapt and change shape as needed for processes such as cell signaling and transport.
Does an amoeba have a cell wall?
They do not have a cell wall. They have a cell membrane, which is the outer layer of the cell. Much like skin in a human. The only type of cells that have a cell wall are plant cells. :)
