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 is the difference between an animal cell and a plant cell?

An animal cell has no cell wall, but a plant cell has a cell wall.An animal cell has no chloroplast but plant cells do have it.An animal cell is not rigid and can change its shape, while a plant cell is rigid and has a fixed shape.


Why are cell shapes different for each cell?

Plant cells usually have a fixed shape while animal cells usually have an irregular shape. Plants do not have bones unlike animals and thus have a cellulose cell wall to cause the cell to have a fixed shape. Thus, cell shapes are different for each cell.


Does an animal cell have a random shape?

Yes. Since the animal cell does not have a cell wall, it has no definite shape


How are plabt and animal cell are different?

Plant cells have cell walls, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a large central vacuole, while animal cells do not. Animal cells have centrioles that assist in cell division, while plant cells do not. Additionally, plant cells tend to have a more fixed rectangular shape, while animal cells are more irregular in shape.

Which of the cells has fixed shape?

Cells with a cell wall.Because cell wall stiff shape cant be changed.


Why do plant cells have a more fixed shape than animal cells?

Plant cells have a more fixed shape due to the presence of a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, which provides structural support and helps maintain shape. In contrast, animal cells do not have a cell wall and rely on internal cytoskeleton and external extracellular matrix for shape maintenance, resulting in a more flexible structure.


How can you identify which cell is the plant and which cell is an animal cell?

An animal cell has a cell wall around the cell membrane and is a rectangular shape, where as an animal cell does not have a cell wall and is a circular shape. Also a plant cell has chloroplast which carries out photosynthesis.


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.
