What do the extracellular coats of cells do?

Animal cells secrete a sticky coat called the extracellular matrix. This layer holds cells together in tissues, and it can also have protective and supportive functions.


Do animal cells have a protein coat?

No, animal cells do not have a protein coat. Only viruses have a protein coat.


What is the sticky coat outside of cells that keep them joined together?

The extracellular matrix is the sticky coating on the outside of cells that keeps them joined together.


Do animal cells have protein coat?

No they do not have a protein coat


Why is the cell wall absent in animal cell?

1) Define cell wall; 2) Animal cells are covered by a sugar-protein coat; 3) Animal cells are surrounded and protected by other Animal cells;

Do eukaryotic animal cells have cell membranes and cell walls?

No, the extra-Cellular side of the animal Cell [bi-lipid] membrane is called the Glycocallyx, or the glyco-protein coat.


What is cell coat?

A cell coat is a covering over the plasma membrane of most animal cells. It consists of glycoprotiens and polysaccharides and has a chemical composition that differs from comparable structures in either plants or bacteria. The cell coat provides a biochemical identity at the surface of the cells and these forms of cellular identity are under genetic control. AB and MN antigens are on the surface of red blood cells and histocompatability antigens, which elicit an immune response during tissue and organ transplants, are present in other cells. These are recognition sites that transfer specific chemical signals across the cell membrane into the cell.


What do animal Cells have that other Cell types do not have?

All body cells contain a cell membrane which contains the contents of the cell, and a cytoplasm in which chemical reactions occur. Most body cells also contain a nucleus, but red blood cells (erythrocytes) are an exception to this.


What is a word beginning with d that means to smear with a sticky substance?

The word is daub. It means to coat or smear a surface with a sticky substance in a liberal way.


Why do plant Cells have Cell walls and animal Cells have Cell coats?

The plant's cell wall protects the cell from damage (the plant cells are less fragile than animal cells and less flexible).Plant and bacterial cell walls provide intense strength using cellulosic materials. Some animal cells equally require this same strength yet they utilize a sugar-protein [glycocallyx] cell coat.


What do typical animal Cells have that typical plant Cells do not?

An exterior glyco-callyx coat; made from sugars and proteins. Plant Cells [to the exterior] typically maintain a Solid Cell Barrier made primarily from Cellulose - the Cell wall.
