I checked several college botany texts, and they say plant cells contain

hundreds to thousands of mitochondria. Mauseth (1995) says they are usually in

the range 100 to 10,000 per cell but that upper limit might just be an estimate

rather than based on an actual count.

How many mitochondria in a plant cell?

Assuming that the plant cell is a sphere of about 25 micrometer in radius, you can estimate the volume = 6.5 x 10-14 m3 Assuming that mitochondria are spherical as well (which is not true, but we're estimating things here), their diameter is about 1.5 micrometers Volume = 1.8 x 10-18 m3 Now, dividing the plant cell volume by the mitochondrium volume gives roughly 36,000 mitochondria.

Mitochondria provide power for the cell. It's pretty much the power plant of the cell


What does a basteria cell have that a plant cell and animal cell don't have?

Not much, really. Eukaryote cells (which include plant and animal cells) have everything prokaryotes have and much more.


What does animal cell have that a plant cell does not?

An animal cell has lysosomes. That's pretty much it.


What component is in an animal cell and not in a plant cell?

Cell wall and Chloraphast(i doubt that's spelt right) The Vacole is in both but is much larger in the plant cell :D

That would be the vacuole.


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.


Is the vacuole found in plant cell or an animal cell?

Vacuoles are found in both type of cells. The only difference is that the plant cell vacuole is much larger.


What is the main function of a plant cell that has rigid cell walls?

to much water in vacuole
