What plants cell walls are made of?
a thick, rigid membrane of cellulose fiber.
How are the cell walls and the walls of buildings the same?
They both provide structure and protection
In addition to cell membrane plants cell also have WHAT that serves to provide strength and support to the cell?
Cell walls.
What does not belong in animale cell but is in plant and prokariotic cells?
Cell walls? Animal cells only have cell membranes. Plant and prokaryotic cells have cell walls, which provide the cell with added structure.
What provides rigidly to a plant cell?
Cell walls provide the rigidity to plant cells. They are comprised mainly of cellulose.
Plant cell walls provide structure for the plants. What performs this function in animals?
Skeleton.
Does cellulose provide carbohydrate?
Cellulose is itself a carbohydrate, and provides structure in cell walls.
Which type of plant cell dies at maturity and has strong thick cell walls that remain and provide support for the plant?
Sclerenchyma
What is a cell wall similar to inside the house?
The cell wall is similar to the outside walls of a house. They both provide structure for the inside.
Is there any similarity between bacterial cell wall and plant cell wall?
No, there is no similarity in bacterial cell walls and plant cell walls. They are different morphologically and also in chemical composition; plant cell walls are made up of cellulose, whereas bacterial cell walls are made up of peptidoglycan (also known as murein).
What is a cell wall made of in a animal cell?
Plants have cell walls made up of cellulose which function in the support and protection of the cell. Animals have only cell membranes made up of phospholipid bilayer and protein which protects and hold together the cell and its parts, it does not need to provide the support that plant cell was provide because animals have other forms of support ( i.e. exoskeletons and endoskeletons) and the lack of the cell wall allows for increased flexibility and advanced cell/tissue specialization, which plants cannot achieve. Bacterial cell walls are made up of peptidoglycan and provide support for the cells much like plant cell walls. United Nations Farms
Why dont animal cells have a cell wall?
Before answering this question, it is important to know the function of a cell wall. Cell walls are found in plants to provide rigidity to support the shape of the cell. Animals do not require those functions in cells, hence they do not need cell walls.
