Plant cells contain 6 main parts:
# chloroplast- contains chlorophyll which helps photosynthesis and makes plants look green # nucleus- this controls the cell and contains DNA # cytoplasm- it is a fluid that fills the cell and stores salts, gases, wastes
# Vacuole- stores food, wastes and water # cell membrane- is a skin around the cell that protects and allows chemicals in and out # cell wall- is a tough layer outside cell membrane which protects and supports the cell

What is the difference in shape between plant cells and animal cells?
Plant cells tend to be cubical in nature whereas animal cells tend to be spherical.
How does the shape from a plant cell differ from a animal cell?
Animal cells are generally shapeless, though they tend to be somewhat oblong. Plant cells, however, are of a static shape because of the fact that they're protected by a cell wall (animal cells are protected by a cell membrane). Because of this difference, plant cells tend to be somewhat rectangular, or just generally a quadrilateral shape.
How are animal cells different from plant cells?
Animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts, which are found in plant cells. Animal cells typically have a rounder shape, while plant cells tend to have a more rigid and square shape. Additionally, animal cells typically have one or more small vacuoles, while plant cells have one large central vacuole.
Could you always tell if it were plant or animal using your microscope?
Plant cells have three things which animal cells do not: * A cellulose cell wall * Chloroplasts * A large vacuole Also, plant cells tend to have a distinctive elongated shape - a bit like a rectangle.
How can a person identify plant and animal cells?
An animal cell has a cell wall around the cell membrane and is a rectangular shape, where as an animal cell does not have a cell wall and is a circular shape. Also a plant cell has chloroplast which carries out photosynthesis.
How are plabt and animal cell are different?
Plant cells have cell walls, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a large central vacuole, while animal cells do not. Animal cells have centrioles that assist in cell division, while plant cells do not. Additionally, plant cells tend to have a more fixed rectangular shape, while animal cells are more irregular in shape.
How are plant cells differnt from animal cells?
The plant cell has a cell wall and chloroplasts. An animal cell doesn't. The chloroplasts have a chemical called chlorophyll inside, which make the plant green.A plant cell has types of organelles called plastids. There are three kinds:Chloroplasts- site of photosynthesisChromoplasts- contain a carotenoid pigment that can be red, orange, or yellowLeucoplasts- store starchPlant cells generally do not contain lysosomes, which contain digestive enzymes used to break down old cell parts for reuse.Also, while both plant and animal cells contain vacuoles, in plant cells these tend to be larger so they have a higher capacity for holding water.The shape of the cells are different too. Plant cells tend to be more rectangular, while animal cells have different shapes depending on the role they play in the body.
What plant cells carry food?
All plant cells contain some nutrients, however, the cells of the seed, fruit and root tend to be used for food storage. The nutrients are transported around the plant by phloem cells in the vasculature.
How would you tell if a cell is a bacteria cell or a plant cell?
fIRST LOOK AT THE SHAPE. bACTERIA TEND TO HAVE A BLOB LIKE STRUCTURE. aND pLANT CELLS HAVE RIGID, RECTANGLE LIKE CELL WALLS. nEXT LOOK AT THE NUCLEUS... bACTERIS HAVE NO NUCLEUS, JUST A SET OF CHROMOSOMES. pLANt CELLS HAVE nUCLEUS WHICH YOU CAN EASILY TELL IF IT'S THERE. LASTLY LOOK AT COLOUR, pLANT CELLS USUALLY TEND TO BE GREEN BECAUSE THEY HAVE CHLOROPLASTS THAT TAKE UP MOST OF THE SPCE IN THE CELLL MAKING IT GREEN.
How do vacuoles in animal and plant cells relate to the function of vacuoles?
Vacuoles are used for temporarily storing materials and are generally larger in plant cells. Therefore they are able to hold more materials such as water and food for the plant cells. The vacuoles in plants control wilting.
Chloroplasts are found in what types of cells?
Plant cells, not animal cells.
What do you notice about the difference in shape between the plant and animals cells?
Plant cells often have a more defined rectangular shape, due to the presence of a rigid cell wall that provides structural support. Animal cells, on the other hand, tend to have a more irregular shape, as they lack a cell wall and rely on their cytoskeleton for structural integrity. Additionally, plant cells may contain a large central vacuole that can affect their overall shape.
