Who observed the living cells?

Living cells were first observed by the scientist Robert Hooke in 1665 using a microscope. He called the small compartments he observed "cells" due to their resemblance to small rooms or cells in a monastery. This discovery laid the foundation for the field of cell biology.


How are plant cells different from your cells?

plant cells rectangular in shape and it has a cell wall, vacuole et.... your cells don't have shape and they don't have a cell wall... if you want more info check out the link below http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/lines/images/cells.gif this is a pic of a plant cell and a pic of your cell your cell is on the left and the plant cell is on the right.... :-D

Why are plant cells square?

The cell walls around the cell membrane all link together with other cells. This creates a regular pattern and makes them link together more closely, compared to an animal cell which is mostly random.


How does plant cells acieve cytokinesis?

Vesicles line up along the midpoint of the dividing cell, link together in a cell plate and form a cell wall between the two new daughter cells.


What is the major physical difference between vacuoles in an plant cell and vacuoles in an animal cell?

In a plant cell the vacuole is much larger than the animal cells vacuole. The plant cells vacuole mostly contains water. In the animal cells vacuole it is used to store waste.Animal cells do not have vacuoles. Only plant cells


Are plant cells capable of photosynthesis?

Organisms that have photosynthetic pigments most always photosynthesize. Plants, many types algea and protists are capable of photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria, prokaryotic organisms, are also capable of photosynthesis. All these organisms contain chlorophyl a, but they all have a different set of pigments. There are different classes of these pigments: chlorophyll, cartenoids, and phycobilins. For a more detailed description of these pigments, see the link below.


What changes happened at the time as a result of Robert Hooke's work?

Robert Hook's many scientific contributions include the iris diaphragm in cameras, the balance wheel in a watch, the universal joint used in vehicles, and the coining of the term "cell" in biology.


Why does a plant cell have a cell wall and an animal only have a cell membrane?

All Plant cells have a cell wall and a Cell Membrane while all Animal cellshave only a Cell Membrane.


How is the animal cell different from the plant cell?

Cell wall: A rather rigid layer surrounding plant cells as well as some other types (i.e. bacteria, fungi). In plants, it is made of the carbohydrate cellulose. This structure helps give the cell shape and support, as well as some protection (even though it is permeable to foreign substances unlike the cell membrane (common to plant and animal cells) which is selectively permeable. It also prevents the cell from over-expanding and rupturing when placed into a hypotonic solution (when the concentration of water outside is greater than that inside.See Link "Diagram 1"Chloroplast: An organelle containing the green pigment chlorophyll (and others) which is used in plants to synthesize the carbohydrate glucose using energy from the sun. Possibly were once free-living bacteria which developed an endosymbiotic relationship with early eukaryotes and became chloroplasts.See Link "Diagram 2"See Link "Endosymbiont theory"Central Vacuole: True, animal cells have vacuoles but they are not nearly as big. The central vacuole stores food and water, and sometimes exerts osmotic (water) pressure, pressing the cytoplasm against the cell wall to make it large and rigid. (This is why fruit sellers spray water on their fruit--it makes the fruit look more appealing!)See Link "Diagram 3"See more at the link "More"
