It has more to do with the rigid cell wall in a plant cell allows it to keep shape whereas animal cells can change shape freely.

In theory, plant cells are like building blocks that make up the molecular system of a plant, so the inside of a plant is very organized. But, in an animal, the animal is alive and unpredictable, so the cells are very messy and sloppy. In fact, animal cells don't even always have a circular shape, they can be oval or not even make sense at all.

How are animal cells and plantcells diff?

the differences are that plant cells have chloroplasts ( which make them green), and cell walls (the hard cover of the cell that gives the cell a shape), and animal cells don't have any of those. also, plant cells are cubed, and animal cells are like globs. animal cells remind me of an off-shape circle. they are ovaly! lol!! hope i helped!!

What accounts for an animal cell's less rigid shape compared to plant cells?

Animal cells lack a cell wall, present in plant cells, which provides rigidity and shape. Instead, animal cells have a flexible plasma membrane that allows for more dynamic changes in shape. Additionally, animal cells have a more varied cytoskeleton that provides support while allowing for movement and shape changes.

What are some differences between animal and plant cells for fourth grade?

Animal cells have centrioles, which plant cells lack. Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells do not. Animal cells usually have a round or irregular shape, whereas plant cells often have a rectangular shape.
