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!

∙ 9y agoNot all animal cells are circular however, the general shape and size of cells maximizes the cell's surface area to volume. This allows the cell to acquire nutrients more rapidly and (in a complex multicellular organism) maximizes the number of cells that can get that nutrition from the circulatory system.

∙ 14y agoI am not quite sure. I do know however, that this statement is true, as plant cells are found to have a rectangle/squarish shape so that it is easy for them to stack.

What organelles are in the ELODEA LEAF cells that makes it different from a animal cell?
It is a plant cell therefore it has a cell wall which animal cells do not. It also have chloroplast (makes it green, for photosythesis) and possibly vacuole.
A muscle cell makes food or sends messages around the body or is like a plant cell or is it like an animal cell?
Confusing question. A muscle cell is an animal cell Plants do not have muscle cells.
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.
Is it easy to tell animal cells form plant cells?
The plant cell will have a square shape, to a degree, as the cell wall is in plant cells and not animal cells. You can see the green of chloroplasts and usually a large central vacuole. Animal cell more round and not having the " extras " listed above.
What is the cell structure of a dog?
A structure of a cell.there are two types of cell -animal cellplant cellMost of the parts (cell organelle) of an animal cell and a plant cell are similar but the only difference is that an animal cell has cytoplasm where as an plant cell has a cell wall, plastids, and large vacuoles.the structure of an animal cell is kind of round, and a plant cell is kind of a rectanglethe structure of a dead cell is like that of a cell in monastries it has empty cells.
