The animal cells differs from the plant cell slightly. Textbooks say that the plant cells has almost straight edges and is almost always kind of boxed but animal cells are like little blobs they don't really have a straight side or edge. :)

What are some differences between animal and plant cells for fourth grade?

Animal cells have centrioles, which plant cells lack. Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells do not. Animal cells usually have a round or irregular shape, whereas plant cells often have a rectangular shape.


Why is the animal cell does not have a fixed shape?

Animal cells do not have a fixed shape because unlike plant cells, they do not have the rigid cell wall to keep them in a specific shape. Therefore their cell membrane which is like a mere sheet allows them to be blob-like.


What shape are animal cells?

Wobbly Circle Since an animal cell doesn't have a cell wall, the shape is not definite like a somewhat rectangular plant cell. It's generally a lopsided circular shape. Like an octagon. sorta


What is the difference in shape between plant cells and animalcell?

Plant cells typically have a rectangular shape with a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, while animal cells are more irregular in shape and lack a cell wall. Plant cells also have large central vacuoles, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and plasmodesmata for communication, which are generally absent in animal cells.


How are animal cells different from plant cells?

Animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts, which are found in plant cells. Animal cells typically have a rounder shape, while plant cells tend to have a more rigid and square shape. Additionally, animal cells typically have one or more small vacuoles, while plant cells have one large central vacuole.

Do plant and animal cells have the same shape?

No, animal cell has a abnormal shape and a plant shape is square because it's cell wall holds it that shape.

Why differ from a typical animal and plant cells respectively?

Animal cells do not have a cell wall, while plant cells do. Plant cells typically have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells do not. Animal cells can move and change shape more easily due to their flexible membrane, while plant cells are typically more rigid due to their cell wall.


What is the shape of the cell of animal?

Animal cells are circular. Plant cells are rectangular.
