What do these phrases describe small in animal cells large in plant cells storage in animal cells maintains shape in plant cells?
vacuoles
What is vacuolation?
Vacuoles are water-filled storage spaces found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells (but they are more common in plant cells they are also bigger in plant cells). Vacuoles store food, collect waste products, and can help with cell shape and buoyancy.A vacuole is an organelle in a cell that stores water. Plant cells have large central vacuoles that often comprise most of the cell
How are plant cells and animal cells a like and how are they different?
One major point is their shape. Plant cells are hexagonal shaped. Animal cells don't have a shape. Also, plant cells have an organelle called chloroplast, inside of which is a green pigment called chlorophyll.
Do animal cells and plant cells have food vacuoles?
A vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle which is present in all plant and fungal cells and some protist, animal and bacterialcells. Vacuoles are essentially enclosed compartments which are filled with water containing inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes in solution, though in certain cases they may contain solids which have been engulfed. Vacuoles are formed by the fusion of multiple membrane vesicles and are effectively just larger forms of these. The organelle has no basic shape or size, its structure varies according to the needs of the cell.
Make a comparison and write down ways in which plants cells are different from animals cells?
cell wall is present in plant cell & not present in animal cell chloroplast is present in plant cell & not in animal cell plant cells are larger & have definite shape......animal cells are smaller and have irregular shape vacuoles are present in plant cell & not in animal cell
What gives cells shape and structure?

vacuoles
How are vacuoles of animal cells different from vacuoles of plant cells?
Vacuoles in animal cells are uncommon and relatively small. If you imagine a cell as being the size of a shoebox, an animal cell vacuole would be about the size of a ping-pong ball. Vacuoles in plant cells are much bigger, if present. They give shape and form to the cells, and determine wilting. They are about the size of a pair of shoes in a shoebox.

How does the shape of a plant cell differ from that animal cell?
Plant cells are generally more rectangular in shape, where as animal cells are usually more round
What is the difference between plant cells eukaryote cells and prokaryote cells?
cell is just a general term. plant cells have large vacuoles, rigid cell wall, and a square shape. eukaryote cells have a nucleus, whereas a prokaryote does not.

The Vacuoles
Is there a central vacuole in green plants?
In the cells, yes, but the actual plant itself doesn't have any vacuoles. The water filled vacuoles give the plant its shape because it has no bone structure. Plants wilt when the vacuole are empty.
How does an iron ball and water differ with respect to their shape size compressibility and diffusion?
because of the change of state of matter
Do all animals have the same cells?
Cells between various animal species may differ in shape and function slightly, but the majority are similar.
