The primary support for plant cells is the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis allows the organism to produce its own supply of food. When one organism has the ability of producing its own food, that organism is called an autotroph. Also a plant cell has chloroplasts which produce chlorophyll to give it its green color and enable to perform photosynthesis. The last thing is the cell wall. The cell wall gives the plant its shape and protection. When you bite into a vegetable you can hear a crunch. That is due to the presence of the cell wall because it has a hard and rough texture.

What do animal cells have that plant cells dont?
all animal cells have centrioles but plant cells dont
Why is it necessary for plant cells to be different from animal cells?
certain characteristics have to be adapted by the plants cells that are different than the animal cell . The one thing is the presence of vacuoles in the plant cell provides it gradual growth of over all cell size and also the cell wall acts as a defense mechanism for the plant cell.
Which organelle is not found in plant cells?
Centrioles and lysosomes cannot be found in plant cells.
What are the five living things that are made of plant cells?
Plant cells are cells found in all plants.
What is the outermost living layer of all cells?
The outermost layer of animal cells is the cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane). The outermost layer of plant cells is the cell wall. The cell membrane allows the movement of nutrients and wastes into and out of the cell either through passive transport (no energy required) or active transport (energy required). This ensures that the environment inside the cell remains relatively constant (this is called homeostasis).Both animal cells and plant cells have cell membranes but the cell membrane in plant cells is covered by the cell wall. The cell wall provides structural support and rigidity to plant cells. It also maintains the shape of the plant cell.
Are cell walls found in all organisms?
No some types of bacteria do not have cell walls
Do plant cells have different parts than animal cells?
Plant cells contain all of the organelles that animal cells do, and also chloroplasts, where photosynthesis takes place, and cell walls, which support the cells and give them shape.
What is the outer support and the protective structure of a plant cell?
The outer support and protective structure of a plant cell is the cell wall. All plant cells have an outer cell wall composed of cellulose or lignin.
All plant cells contain chloroplast?
Yes, all plant cells have chloroplasts. Plant cells are the only cells that have chloroplasts, actually. No- Most Cells of Plant Roots do not!
What kind of cells are plant cells?
All plant cells are eukaryotic cells
What do animal cells have that plant cells dont?
all animal cells have centrioles but plant cells dont
Thick layer that surrounds all plant cells?
The thick sticky layer that coats the plant's epidermal cells is known as the CUTICLE. This substance helps to keep the water level of the plant at equilibrium .
Does a plant have a nucleus in its cells?
yes. all cells (plant and animal) have a nucleus

Are all cells within the same plant the same?
No not all cells within the plant are the same. The reason is because not all cells in a leaf are the same
Which organelle is not found in plant cells?
Centrioles and lysosomes cannot be found in plant cells.
What are the five living things that are made of plant cells?
Plant cells are cells found in all plants.
