No, the kid in our Biology class, that is saying that they do, is wrong.

LOL! Nope, they don't.

Cells, in general, have vacuoles of many descriptions, few are large.

However, when we consider the amount of saliva produced in BOTH the static and the On-Demand basis, cheek cells have an 'unusually, expressly' LARGE Golgi apparatus. Hope this helps.

Do cheek cells have vacuoles?

Cheek cells usually have a vacuole. The cheek cells are part of the human cells and are therefore classified as animal cells which usually have vacuoles.


What are the Characteristics of cheek cells leaf cells and onion cells?

Cheek cells are flat, irregularly shaped, and have a nucleus. Leaf cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis and have a defined cell wall. Onion cells have a distinct rectangular shape, lack chloroplasts, and contain a large central vacuole.


Where is a cheek cells cytoplasm located?

The cytoplasm of a cheek cell is located within the cell membrane, surrounding the nucleus. It contains various organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and ribosomes, which help in cell functioning.


Comparison between cheek cell to plant cell?

Cheek cells are eukaryotic cells found in animals, whereas plant cells are eukaryotic cells found in plants. Cheek cells do not have a cell wall but have cell membranes, while plant cells have cell walls made of cellulose in addition to cell membranes. Cheek cells do not contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while plant cells do contain chloroplasts.


What two organelles are not found in a cheek cell?

Chloroplasts and centrioles are not found in a cheek cell. Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells, where they are responsible for photosynthesis. Centrioles are involved in cell division and are typically found in animal cells.


How are the strawberry and cheek cell different?

Strawberry cells are large, plant cells that contain a rigid cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a large central vacuole for storage. In contrast, cheek cells are smaller, animal cells that lack a cell wall, have no chloroplasts, and possess a more flexible membrane. Additionally, cheek cells typically have a more irregular shape compared to the more uniform structure of strawberry cells. These differences reflect their distinct functions and roles in their respective organisms.
