What good are polysaccharide?
In animals, they are primarily energy storage molecules, although there are a lot of polysaccharide chains that do many extremely important jobs on the membranes of body cells. In plants, they are not only very important food storage molecules (starch), they also serve as structural materials (cellulose) and components in wood.
A type of polysaccharide that accounts for the strength of plants cells and is not digestible to most animals is?
cellulose
What is the structure found in plants cells animal cells or both?
nucleus
Why is the structure of a phospholipid so important to the cell?
They are selectively permeable, provides structure to cells.
Why is it advantageous for plants to have water-transporting cells that are dead?
For one the cells do not use the water they are transporting. Rigidity of structure, for another reason.

What is the structure found in plants cells animal cells or both?

Which structure gives support to plants cells?
Cytoskeleton
what structure that animal cells have that plant cells do not?
plants have a cell wall and animals do not
In cells which structure provides cells with energy?
mitoochondrion and for plants chloroplasts
What is one structure found in animal cells that is not in plant cells?
Animal cells have lysosomes and plants cells do not.
Plant cells store glucose as a polysaccharide called?
The cell walls of plants can actually have two layers. The primary structure is a polysaccharide known as cellulose (which is actually not digestible when consumed by humans). Later in the plant's life a second cell wall can be developed using a molecule known as lignin which is quite rigid even after the plant has died.
Does plants cells have a chromosomes?
yes. any living structure does.
What is one structure in animal cells you do not find in plant cells?
Centrioles are not a common in most of the plants
Why do plant cells have cell plants?
It gives a structure and protects the inner cells from the external environment.
What cells structure found in bacteria fungi and plants in lacking in animal cells?
cell Wall
