If all cells had the same structure and function, it would be like every person was the same person- looks, personality and traits. If all cells were the same, living things like us humans couldn't survive since we have uncountable different types of cells that all have different functions. Every cell has a purpose and a job it does until it dies, and not every cell has the same job. Also, plant and animal cells are very different, be sure to see the differences between them.

Something that performs the same function as the cell wall?

The plasma membrane, also known as the cell membrane, functions similarly to the cell wall by providing structure, protecting the cell, and regulating what enters and exits the cell. It is a phospholipid bilayer that surrounds the cell and maintains its integrity.


Are all cells same and why?

Yes and no. They for the most part have the same basic organelles(organs for cells), but there are distinct differences. For example, a plant cell has a cell wall, an animal cell does not. Most cells will have a nucleus, mitochindria, and ribosomes, but will differ in appearance. What decides that is the DNA or RNA.


You are looking through a microscope at some cells each of the cells has a different structure What can you infer about these cells?

The cells likely belong to different types within the same organism, each serving a specific function. Variations in cell structure can indicate specialization for different roles. This diversity in cell structure contributes to the overall function and health of the organism.


What cells perform different functions?

Different cells are different in structure because of their different functions (e.g. plant cells have cell walls because they don't have bones). Also, cells have different functions because they work together with other cells to create a working system (e.g. the human body)


Why are all cells not the same because of their unique structures and functions?

Cells are not all the same because they have different structures and functions that allow them to perform specific tasks in the body. Each type of cell is specialized to carry out a particular function, such as muscle cells contracting or nerve cells transmitting signals. This diversity in structure and function is essential for the proper functioning of the body as a whole.

What is a definition of a tissue cell?

generally, tissue means a group of cells having same structure and function. so, a tissue cell is one, involved in the tissue having same structure and functions as all the other cells involved in that particular tissue.


Why nucleus is not in the same place within different types of cells?

Are the cells the same and why?

The DNA of cells in the same organism will be the same if no mutations occur. The only diffferences from your hair cells to your muscle cells is the structure of the cell. The structure of a cell gives the cell it's function.

Why do cells have same genetic instructions but not the same functions?

Not all the 'instructions' refer to every cell. Some instructions are cell specific.

What causes the differences between two human cell types?

The differences between two human cell types are primarily due to variations in gene expression. Each cell type selectively activates or deactivates specific genes, resulting in unique functions and characteristics. Additionally, differences in cell structure and organelles contribute to specialized functions of distinct cell types.


What does the nuclueus do?

It directs the cell's activities, functions, structure. It's pretty much the "brain" of the cell.The Nucleolus is like nucleus in a nucleus. It does the same exact task, but is the HEADQUARTERS, the highest position of direction.

What is the function of the ribsomes cell?

The same as the function of ribosomes in any other cell: to translate mRNA into protein that the cell can use to carry out its functions.
