A plant cell has a cell wall which helps it keep its shape. An animal cell doesn't have a cell wall! So that circular shape represents a "blob" or something, it can take a shape because the lack of cell wall!

What iscell structure that makes a plant cell more rigid than animal cell?

The cell wall, composed of cellulose, is the structure that makes plant cells more rigid than animal cells. It provides support and protection to the plant cell, helping maintain its shape and structure.


A muscle cell makes food or sends messages around the body or is like a plant cell or is it like an animal cell?

A muscle cell is like an animal cell because it has a nucleus, mitochondria, and other organelles typical of animal cells. Its main function is to generate movement by contracting and relaxing. It does not make food through photosynthesis like plant cells do.


Is cytosol found in animal cell?

Yes, cytosol is found in animal cells. It is a semi-fluid substance that makes up the majority of the cell's intracellular fluid and is where many cellular processes take place.


Why cell lysis occurs for animal cell not for plant cell?

Cell lysis occurs more easily in animal cells than in plant cells because animal cells lack a rigid cell wall like plant cells do. The absence of a cell wall in animal cells makes them more susceptible to bursting under osmotic pressure changes or when exposed to external stressors. Plant cells are protected by their rigid cell walls, which provide structural support and help prevent cell lysis.


What organelles are in the ELODEA LEAF cells that makes it different from a animal cell?

Elodea leaf cells have chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis, a process that converts light energy into chemical energy. This is a unique organelle not found in animal cells. The central vacuole in Elodea leaf cells helps maintain turgor pressure, providing rigidity to the cell and aiding in photosynthesis, another feature not typically found in animal cells.
