For plants, it's (usually) a rigid cell wall. For animals, it's (usually) a more flexible cell membrane. The rest of the shape is up to the function of the cell, what its surrounding area is shaped like, what organelles it has, how it moves, etc.
What else can I help you with?
Is the hollow cylinder that supports and shapes cells called a cell wall?
No, the hollow cylinder that supports and shapes cells is called the cell membrane. The cell wall is a rigid structure found outside the cell membrane in plant cells, fungi, and some bacteria, providing structural support and protection.
What gives the cell its shape and control the changes in cell shape?
For plants, it's (usually) a rigid cell wall. For animals, it's (usually) a more flexible cell membrane. The rest of the shape is up to the function of the cell, what its surrounding area is shaped like, what organelles it has, how it moves, etc.
What are the structural features that influence the shapes of cells?
The shapes of cells are influenced by structural features such as the cytoskeleton, cell membrane, and cell adhesion molecules. The cytoskeleton provides support and maintains cell shape, while the cell membrane controls the cell's boundaries and interactions with the environment. Cell adhesion molecules help to maintain connections between cells and shape tissue architecture.
Why is the shape and size of a cell important to its function?
The shape and size of a cell determine its surface area-to-volume ratio, which affects the efficiency of its nutrient exchange and waste removal processes. Certain shapes are better suited for specific functions, such as flat shapes for absorption or elongated shapes for muscle contraction. Size can also impact how quickly a cell can transport materials within its interior.
What part of the cell gives plant cells support and protection?
The cell wall protects the cell and the cytoskeleton gives structural support.
What is the hollow cylinder that supports and shapes the cell?
The microtubule is the mechanism that supports the cell and gives it its shape.
What keeps the shapes and protects the cell?
In an animal (and human) cell, the cell membrane gives it its shape. And in a plant cell, both a cell membrane and cell wall give it its shape and protects it
What is the life function of the cytoplasm?
Cytoplasm gives shapes to the cell. It facilitates the movement of substance within the cell and the cell itself. Cytoplasm absorb or store nutrients.
What is the hollow shape cylinder that supports and shapes cells?
The microtubule is the mechanism that supports the cell and gives it its shape.
What does the cell mambrane of an animal cell do?
controls what get in and out of the cell and shapes the cell
What is protective layer of the cell that lets nutrients in the cell and waste out of the cell nutrients in the cell?
The cell membrane protects the insides of a cell, shapes it, and lets materials flow in and out of it, like a human's skin. For plant cells, there is also a cell wall which gives a cell even more support in place of bones.
What causes the cell to retain their shapes?
Eating the food with all nutrients helps in replacement of protoplasm [cell].Thus the cell retains their shapes.
Shapes and support a plant cell?
The Cell Wall
Why are nerve cell and muscle cell different shapes?
Their different shapes help them to perform their various functions (jobs)
What role does the cell wall play?
The cell wall provides structure, support, and protection to the cell. It helps maintain the shape of the cell and prevents it from bursting or collapsing. The cell wall also acts as a barrier to protect the cell from external threats and allows communication between neighboring cells.
What organelle shapes and supports plant cell?
cell membrane and cell wall
Is the hollow cylinder that supports and shapes cells called a cell wall?
No, the hollow cylinder that supports and shapes cells is called the cell membrane. The cell wall is a rigid structure found outside the cell membrane in plant cells, fungi, and some bacteria, providing structural support and protection.
