For plants, it's (usually) a rigid cell wall. For animals, it's (usually) a more flexible cell membrane. The rest of the shape is up to the function of the cell, what its surrounding area is shaped like, what organelles it has, how it moves, etc.

∙ 10y agoThe cellular membrane, in the case of cells that don't have a rigid cellular wall, outlines the cell and contains the cytoplasm but it's the cytoskeleton that is more responsible for the shape of a cell, which come in a variety of shapes: squamous, cuboide, colunar, neurons, etc.
In cells that do have a rigid cellular wall, such as plant cells, it's the cellular wall that gives it its shape.

What does the vacoule do in the cell?
Gives the cell nutrients and gives it shape
What does a cell wall for a cell?

What a cell wall does for a cell?
gives the cell shape
What doe the vacoul do in the cell?
Gives the cell nutrients and gives it shape
Which part of the animal cell gives shape to the cell?
cell membrane The cells and organs surrounding it give the animal cell its shape. The membrane is totally flexible and confers no shape to the cell.
What are the functions of a cell wall?
proctects the cell and gives the cell its shape.
What allows a cell to change its shape?
Changes in the organization of its cytoskeleton allow a cell to change shape.
What do the cell membrane do in the plant cell?
the cell membrane gives the cell its shape.
What characteristic determines the shape of the cell?
The cell membrane gives the cell support and shape, don't know if that helps.
