Basic differences:

Animal cells have no cell wall, plant cells have a cell wall in addition to their cell membrane, which gives them their rigid shape. Plant cells also have a space inside them called a large vacuole for sugar in the form of glucose. Additionally many plant cells have chloroplasts which contain the green chemical chlorophyll for photosynthesis. Exceptions include cells below the soil.

Is it plant or animal cells shown in transparency?

To determine whether the cells shown in the transparency are plant or animal cells, look for specific features. Plant cells typically have a rigid cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a large central vacuole, while animal cells lack a cell wall and chloroplasts and have smaller vacuoles. If the cells exhibit these distinguishing characteristics, they are likely plant cells; otherwise, they are animal cells.


Are the cells depicted plant or animal cells of mitosis explain your answer?

To determine whether the cells depicted are plant or animal cells in mitosis, one can look for specific characteristics. Animal cells typically exhibit a cleavage furrow during cytokinesis, where the cell membrane pinches inward. In contrast, plant cells form a cell plate that develops into a new cell wall. If the cells show a cleavage furrow, they are likely animal cells; if they show a cell plate, they are plant cells.


How would you decide whether a new organism was a plant or an animal?

Plant cells have a large vacuole, which the animal cells don't.


Is it the size of cells or the number of cells that determines the size of an animal?

Cell number and cell size both determine the size of an animal.


Do plant and animal cells lack nuclei?

No, cells can have nuclei irrespective of whether they are plant or animal; some don't however (red blood cells for example).


How do you determine if cells are plant or animals what is the structure?

Plant cells typically have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, a large central vacuole, and chloroplasts for photosynthesis. Animal cells lack a cell wall and chloroplasts, but have lysosomes for digestion and a more flexible cell membrane. These differences in structures help identify whether a cell is from a plant or animal.


What experiment would you do to determine whether water moves in and out of cells?

The process of osmosis.


Which is of following is not an example of an animal cell?

To determine which option is not an example of an animal cell, it would be important to consider the provided choices. Common examples of animal cells include muscle cells, nerve cells, and skin cells. In contrast, plant cells, bacterial cells, and fungal cells are not classified as animal cells. If you provide specific options, I can help identify the one that does not belong.

How can YOU tell whether cells in mitosis are animal or plant cells?

During telophase of mitosis, a cell plate is formed as the plant cell begins its division. In animal cells, the cell pinches in the center to form two cells; no cell plate is laid down.
