Which of the following do typical plant cells have that typical animal cells do not?

Typical plant cells have cell walls, chloroplasts, and large central vacuoles, which are structures that are not typically found in animal cells. These features help plants to support their structure, perform photosynthesis, and store nutrients and waste products.


What is the difference between a typical animal cell and a typical plant cell?

1.It looks differnt. 2.a typical plant cell has nucleus,cell wall,cell membrane,vacuole,cyteplosm,coroplast. Edited Answer: A typical animal cell has cell membrane, cytoplasm & nucleus and a typical plant cell has cell wall, cell mmbrane, cytoplasm, nucleus and cell vacuole etc.


What are the three types of alveolar cells?

There are three major alveolar cell types in the alveolar wall (pneumocytes):* Type I cells that form the structure of an alveolar wall* Type II cells that secrete surfactant to lower the surface tension of water and allows the membrane to separate thereby increasing the capability to exchange gases.* Type III cells that destroy foreign material, such as bacteria.


What is a outer supportive structure of a plant cell?

The cell wall is the outer supportive structure of a plant cell. It provides rigidity and support to the cell, helping the plant maintain its shape and structure. The cell wall is made up of cellulose, a complex carbohydrate that gives strength to the cell.


Is a typical plant cell smaller than a typical animal cell?

No, a typical plant cell is generally larger than a typical animal cell. Plant cells are usually between 10 to 100 micrometers in size, while animal cells are typically between 10 to 30 micrometers. This size difference is due to the presence of a rigid cell wall in plant cells that provides structural support and allows them to grow larger.

What is the structure of respiratory membrane?

The respiratory membrane is formed by a combination of the walls of alveoli and walls of capillaries. It consists of type 1 alveolar cells, a basement membrane, capillary endothelium, alveolar epithelium and macrophages.

How can you tell the difference between a typical plant cell and a typical animal cell?

Typical plant cells have cell walls, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and large central vacuoles, while animal cells do not have cell walls, chloroplasts or large central vacuoles. Animal cells may have centrioles that plant cells lack.
