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.
Why are cheek cells easy to collect by scraping inside of mouth?
Cheek cells are epithelial cells (Skin cells) and with all the things going on in your mouth, scraping cells with a toothpick would simply make the cells "fall off" onto the toothpick for sampling. (Epithelial cells are easy to collect)
What sugar is found when conA peroxidase bind to cheek epithelial cells?
D-Galactose
Why do onion and elodea cells have a more definite shape than the human cheek cells?
Elodea and onion cells have more consistent shapes than human epithelial cells because they have cell walls. The human epithelial cells do not have defined cell walls.
How cheek cell are adapted to perform their function?
Cheek cells are made up of squamous epithelium , these are tightly arranged and helps protect against bacterial invasion. Human cheek cells are a type of epithelial cell that lines the interior of the mouth. The function of the human cheek cells is to secrete mucin, which maintains moisture in the mouth to aid mechanical and chemical digestion. To help in the chewing of food. Cheek cells are actually epithelial cells, and are used to line any cavities inside and outside the human body. Cheek cells mainly assist in chewing food and protecting against bacterial infection. They chew the food by breaking it down and the layer they occupy protects the cheek from injury.

D-Galactose
Are human cheek epithelial cells thinner than elodea?
Yes, they are
Why are cheek cells circular?
because it doesnt have a cell wall to hold it together.

Irregular round shape
Do cheek cells have a definite shape?
yes
