Do lysosomes initiate cell division in animal cell?
No, centrosomes initiate and regulate cell division in plants.In cell biology, the centrosomeis an organelle that serves as the main microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of the animal cell as well as a regulator of cell-cycleprogression.Lysosomes ,better known as Suicide bags,use enzymes to destroy the other damaged cell organelles.
What have small cylindrical structures that contain microtubules?
The centrosome is an organelle that serves as the main microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of the eukaryotic cell.
What type of cell is the cilia a plant cell or animal cell?
it is in a plant cell
How are animal cell different from animal cells?
there is no differnce between animal cell and animal cells expect for that animals is more then one cell and animal cell is just one cell
What cell does amoeba come from?
An animal cell An animal cell
What is the definition of centrosome?
In cell biology, the centrosome is an organelle that serves as the main microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of the animal cell as well as a regulator of cell-cycle progression.

How and where is a spindle formed?
Prophase IIThe spindle is formed under the direction of the microtubule organizing center (MTOC).In an animal cell, the MTOC is the centrosome, which contains two centrioles. In plant cells, it seems that the MTOC is the nuclear envelope. There is no centrosome or centriole in the cells of a plant.The spindle develops in the cytoplasm of a cell in prophase of either mitosis or meiosis. It is a barrel-shaped structure, made up of many spindle fibers, which are microtubules of the cytoskeleton. The two ends of the spindle taper towards points that are called the poles of the spindle, and these two points in the cytoplasm of the mother-cell will be the sites of formation of the daughter-nuclei in telophase.

What does the centrosome in a cell do?
The centrosome, aka, centrioles is only found in an animal cell and is not visible under a light microscope. The function of this organelle is to form the spindle (a stage in cell division) for cell division. (Meitosis/Meiosis). :)
How does mitosis in plants differ from mitosis in animals?
1. There are no centrioles in a plant cell whereas they are present in animal cells. 2. In cytokinesis, the final step of mitosis, a cell's cytoplasm separates in half with each half containing one nucleus. An animal cell membrane pinches in, creating a cleavage furrow until the mother cell is pinched in half. In plant cells, a new cell wall is constructed at what was the midline of the mother cell. 3. In plant cell during telophase, phragmoplast (acting myosin microtubules) forms in centre of cell where as in animal cell contractile ring forms approximately midway between the 2 nuclei of the dividing cell. 4. Plant cell has a cell wall & animal cell lacks it 5. In plant cell nuclear and cell division found in special regions called meristems where as in animal cell divides everywhere, all the time.
What makes a nerve cell an animal cell?
the cell is a cell and an animal cell is an animal cell
What type of cell is the cilia a plant cell or animal cell?
it is in a plant cell
Is an cheek cell a plant cell or an animal cell?
It is an animal cell.
Is a throat cell a plant cell or an animal cell?
it's an animal cell as it is part of an animal body
How are animal cell different from animal cells?
there is no differnce between animal cell and animal cells expect for that animals is more then one cell and animal cell is just one cell
