What plant cell has a cell wall?

Plant cells have a cell wall composed primarily of cellulose. This rigid structure provides support and protection for the plant cell. The cell wall is located outside the cell membrane.


What is the rigid outermost layer of the plant cell?

The cell wall surrounds plant cells.


Do all cells have a cell wall and nucleus?

No, not all cells have a cell wall and nucleus. Animal cells lack a cell wall but have a nucleus, while plant cells have both a cell wall and a nucleus. Prokaryotic cells, like bacteria, lack a nucleus and have a cell wall made of different materials than plant cells.


Is a cell wall in animal or plant cells?

cell walls are in plant cells, because the cell wall is rigid (up to many micrometers in thickness) and gives plant cells a very defined shape. While most cells have a outer membrane, none is comparable in strength to the plant cell wall. The cell wall is the reason for the difference between plant and animal cell functions. Because the plant has evolved this rigid structure, they have lost the opportunity to develop nervous systems, immune systems, and most importantly, mobility. An animal cell floats freely in the body, so it doesn't need a cell wall, and can't live with a cell wall.


What do plant cells have that prevent them from swelling after an intake of too much water?

When a plant cell is full of water. It will get ready to burst. But if it tries to burst it will not. Because of something that a plant cell has. It is a Cell Wall.

What structure is outside the cell membrane?

For plant cells, there is a cell wall outside of the cell's membrane. Animal cells do not have walls, so there is no structure outside of the cell membrane.


What is something that performs the same function as the cell wall?

An alternative to the cell wall is the cell membrane. While the cell wall provides structural support and protection in plant cells, the cell membrane controls the movement of materials in and out of the cell in both plant and animal cells.


What kind of cell types usually has a rigid cell wall?

What is one difference between the cell of plants and animals?

Plant cells have a cell wall, and animal cells do not.


What is an outside covering that all plant cells have and that is not found in animal cells?

The outside covering that all plant cells have and that is not found in animal cells is called a cell wall. The cell wall provides structure, support, and protection to the plant cell, allowing it to maintain its shape and resist mechanical stress.


All cells have a cell wall?

The answer is No. All cells do not have = have both cell membrane and a cell wall = but only plant cells have them. Animal cells have only Cell membrane and no cell wall.So the final answer is= All cells do not have both cell membrane and a cell wall =


What is the difference of cell wall or plant cell wall?

Animal cells do not have cell walls, only cell membranes, while plant cells have a cell wall and a cell membrane.


What plant cell has a cell wall?

How can you tell the difference between plant and animals cells?

Plant cells have a cell wall, animal cells do not.
