Identify the structures that comprise an animal cell?
An animal cell's structure is flexiable while a plants cell's structure is rigid
What are the sizes of cheek epithelial cells and elodea leaf cells?
The human epithelial cells are thick and boxlike whereas elodea cells are thin and platelike. The cells of elodea are rigid and rectangular in shape.
What name is given to the rigid structure found outside the plasma membrane that surrounds and supports the bacterial cells?
The cell wall is a rigid supporting structure.
What do plant cells have as a rigid structure that serves as an outer covering?
You are referring to the cellulose cell wall.
What iscell structure that makes a plant cell more rigid than animal cell?
Each plant cell has a rigid outer layer called a cell wall. Animal cells do not have this structure.
How does the edge of the cheek cell compare with the edge of the onion cell?
Onion cells, like most plant cells, have rigid cell walls which give them a regular shape. They are stacked tightly in columns and rows. Cheek cells have and irregularly shaped cell membrane. and are squished together in layers.
What is the function of these epidermis onion cells?
The root cell's job is to gather minerals and and take it up the roots to the onion.
Why do onion cells not rupture when placed in distilled water?
Because plant cells have a rigid cell wall

What is the difference between a structure that is rigid and one that is flexible?
The difference between a structure that is rigid and one that is flexible is that the rigid structure will not bend or flex when force is applied. A structure that is rigid cannot flex.
What is the protective outer covering around all cells?
It is the cell membrane. Plant cells also have a rigid structure called a cell wall.
What help support the whole plant?
Because a plant has no skeleton, its support is found in it's cells. The cells have a rigid cell wall for support and structure.
