In a plant cell, the large central vacuole takes in the water and gives the turgor pressure in plant which allows it to stand up. The animal cells do not have this large central vacuole, and it is unable to maintain all the water and give the turgor pressure.

Why don't animal cell need chloroplasts?

Animal cells are not capable of photosynthesis hence these cells lack chloroplasts. We can also put it this way, that since animal cells lack chloroplasts, these are not capable of photosynthesis.

What is the ploidy of animal cells that are capable of meiosis?

Animal cells that are capable of meiosis are typically diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. During meiosis, these diploid cells undergo two rounds of cell division to produce haploid gametes with only one set of chromosomes.


What is small in animal cells but large in plant cells?

Vacuoles are small in animal cells but large in plant cells. They play a role in maintaining turgor pressure in plant cells and storing water, ions, and nutrients. In animal cells, vacuoles are smaller and more specialized in function.


Why is turgor pressure not a characteristic of animal cells?

Animal cells do not have cell walls (as in the case of plant cells). When they absorb too much water, they will not build up turgor pressure but lyse (burst). This is because there is no cell wall to oppose water from entering the animal cell.


Why are organells in plant cell and not in animal cell?

Both plant and animal cells have organelles. However, plant cells have additional organelles such as chloroplasts and large central vacuoles that are not present in animal cells. These organelles are essential for functions specific to plant cells, such as photosynthesis and maintaining turgor pressure.


What type of microscope is capable of viewing cells?

A light microscope is capable of viewing cells.


How are human skin cells plant and animal cells alike?

Human skin cells, plant cells, and animal cells are all eukaryotic cells, meaning they have a defined nucleus and organelles. They are also capable of carrying out cellular functions such as energy production, growth, and reproduction. However, plant cells have cell walls composed of cellulose and contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells lack these structures.


What is it called when animal cells burst?

When animal cells burst it's called lysis.


Is vacuole found in animal cells and plant cells?

Yes, vacuoles are found in both animal and plant cells. In animal cells, vacuoles are smaller and less prominent compared to plant cells, where they can be quite large and play a key role in storing nutrients, maintaining turgor pressure, and regulating the cell's internal environment.


Is it true that not all cells are capable of division?

Yes, some cells are terminally differentiated and are no longer capable of dividing. These include mature nerve cells and muscle cells. However, most cells in the body, such as skin cells and blood cells, are capable of division.
