Why is the shape of liver and cheek cells different if they are both animal cells?

They have different Histological functions.


Human cheek cells are epithelial cells which are highly specialized for protection List some of the functions that these cells cannot carry out?

Human cheek cells cannot carry out functions such as producing hormones, transporting oxygen in the bloodstream, or contracting like muscle cells. Additionally, they are not able to form synaptic connections for neurotransmission like neurons.


How do cheek cells know to be cheek cells?

Cheek cells are a type of epithelial cell that line the inside of the mouth and are specialized for protection and secretion. These cells develop into cheek cells due to their location in the body and specific functions required in the oral cavity. They are produced through cell differentiation processes during development.


Is cheek cell a system?

No, cheek cells are not a system. They are individual cells that are part of the human body. Systems are groups of organs that work together to perform specific functions in the body.


How does the size of the cheek cell relate to its functions?

The size of a cheek cell does not directly relate to its functions. Cheek cells are generally small in size and can perform their functions effectively regardless of their size. The key factor influencing cell function is its internal structures and organelles, rather than its overall size.


Does an animal cheek cell have a nucleus?

Yes, animal cheek cells do have a nucleus. The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains genetic material that regulates cell functions.


Do cheek cells have membrane bound organelles?

All cells have membranes. They keep the cell's cytoplasm from leaking out into the environment. Cheek cells are no different. i was going to say that but my computer wasnt working!!!!!!!!!!!!!


How do cheek cells reproduce more cells?

Cheek cells reproduce through a process called mitosis, where the cell duplicates its genetic material and divides into two identical daughter cells. This allows cheek cells to replace worn-out or damaged cells by continuously dividing and replenishing their population.


What are two important ways that muscle cells differ from cheek cells?

It has more mitochondria.


Are cheek cells animal cells or plant cells?

Well they usually are plant cells. In my science class we learned all about that plant and animal stuff. If you have anymore questions about cells and genetics, just ask! :)


Would you expect all human cells to look like cheek cell?

No, different types of human cells have unique shapes and structures based on their functions. Cheek cells are flat and irregularly shaped because they are protective epithelial cells. Other cells in the body, such as nerve cells or muscle cells, have different shapes that suit their specific roles.
