How is a liver cell adapted to its job?

The hepatocyte is very well adapted to perform its job. The hepatocyte is polygonal in shape and very permeable. This allow substances to pass in and out easily to the blood stream. This allows the liver to purify toxins in the body and allows the cells to secrete enzymes need for digestion.


What forms the cell wall of plant cells?

The primary component of the cell wall in plant cells is cellulose, a complex carbohydrate made up of long chains of glucose molecules. Cellulose provides structural support and protects the plant cell from mechanical stress. Other components of the cell wall include hemicellulose, pectin, and lignin.


How is a plant cell specialised to do its job?

A plant cell is specialized for photosynthesis due to the presence of chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll for capturing light energy. Additionally, plant cells have a large central vacuole that helps maintain turgor pressure and store nutrients. The cell wall provides structural support and protection.


What is the cell wall's job in a plant cell?

To protect the contents of the plant cell and to support the structure of the plant.--A cell wall is a tough, usually flexible but sometimes fairly rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells. It is located outside the cell membrane and provides these cells with structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism. A major function of the cell wall is to act as a pressure vessel, preventing over-expansion when water enters the cell. They are found in plants, bacteria, fungi, algae, and some archaea. Animals and protozoa do not have cell walls.


Is the cell wall of a plant cell more like the skeleton of a dog or the hard shell of a crab?

Well, It protects the cell as it main job, and also gives it some shape, but the rigid cell walls of the cell also keep the plant sturdy, but in that case, it would be like more of a hard shell of a crab, which keeps it safe and gives it structure.
