There are over 200 different cells in the body. Some of the most common cell shapes include; squamous, cuboidal, columnar, polygonal, spheroid, discoid, fusiform and fibrous.
1. squamous:thin and flat like a floor tile
2. cuboidal:like a cube of sugar
3. polygonal:many sides
4. discoid:flat, disc shape
5. fusiform:shaped like a spindle, larger in the middle and tapered at each end
6. columnar:tall like a column or like a domino on end
7. spheroid:sphere shaped or like globe
8. fibrous:thin like a thread
What else can I help you with?
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.
How would you describe cytoplasm?
It gives the cell shape. It's a very gel-like material.
What is the word used to describe the shape of plant cells?
The word used to describe the shape of plant cells is "rectangular" or "box-like." Plant cells typically have a distinct rectangular shape due to the presence of a rigid cell wall.
Which term is not used to describe bacterial cell shapes?
cylindrical shape doesn't describe for the bacterial cell shapes
Describe the shape of the nucleus of an onion cell?
As with all cells, the nucleus of an onion cell is spherical. Since nuclei essentially exist suspended in a cells cytoplasm the membrane will assume the most efficient and lowest energy shape, a sphere.
What is the shape of the leaf cell?
It's kind of hard to describe, but it is more of a rectangular shape.
What is the shape of a honeycomb?
Each cell is hexagonal.

What name do you use to describe a cell with only one of each chromosome?
A Gamete.
Cells produced by meiosis have only one of each chromosome What name do you use to describe this cell?
A Haploid cell.
Which part in the plant cell is the tough noneliving outer layer of each plant cell it gives the cell shape strength and support?
The cell wall
How Do You describe the shape of a data set?
You describe the shape, not of the data set, but of its density function.You describe the shape, not of the data set, but of its density function.You describe the shape, not of the data set, but of its density function.You describe the shape, not of the data set, but of its density function.
Describe the sets of chromosomes in the two new cells that result from cell division?
Each new cell will have a complete set of chromosomes, identical to the original cell. If the original cell was diploid (2n), each new cell will also be diploid. If the original cell was haploid (n), each new cell will be haploid.

As with all cells, the nucleus of an onion cell is spherical. Since nuclei essentially exist suspended in a cells cytoplasm the membrane will assume the most efficient and lowest energy shape, a sphere.
