Why don't plant cells shrink up like animal cells in a salt solution?
The cell body does shrink, however in plants there is a rigid cell wall framework and this does not shrink with the cell contents.
Describe how the onion and cheek cell were similar in observed parts what parts did they have common?
Describe how the onion and cheek cell were similar in observed parts what parts did they have common? Well they are similar because they both have a nucleus and cytoplasm. They are different because in an onion cell there is a cell wall, doesnt have chlorplast, and it is a plant. For a cheek cell it has a cell membrane, doesnt have a cell wall, and is an animal.
What structures are found in a plant cells that are not found in animal cell?
chlorophyll
What causes a cell of shrink because of osmosis?
What causes a cell to shrink because of osmosis?
What does a plant cell have that a anim al cell doesnt have?
An animal cell has lysosomes and centrioles where a plant cell doesn't. also a plant cell has a cell wall and chloroplast.
Is a cell wall a animal?
no,it doesnt

What does a plant cell have that a animal cell doesnt?
chloroplast and cell wall and a LARGE vacoule
What does a animal cell have that a plant cell doesnt?
chloroplast and cell wall and a LARGE vacoule
What would happen if a plant didn't get enough water?
The cell memebrane would shrink from the cell wall (plasmolosis) and the cell would eventually die
What is the shrinking of plant cells when water leaves the cell membrane?
It is called plasmolysis. The cytoplasm and vacuole shrink but cell wall remains the same.
Which cell does not have cell membrane?
the animal and plant cell both have a cell membrane...you are the thinking of the cell wall. The cell wall and chloroplast is only found in the plant cell. Chloroplast helps with photosynthesis and the cell wall gives the plant cell, its shape. Since the animal doesnt have a cell wall, it is round while the plant cell is a sqaure or rectangle. hope this helps

Why does a plant cell shrink when put in hyper tonic solution?
they don't because they have a cell wall. they have what we call plasmolisis. which is when the it looses water (because of the concentration gradient)
What conditions make a cell shrink?
Hypertonic conditions make a cell shrink .

chlorophyll
