What do chloroplasts in a cell look like?

A chloroplast is a green cell, which gives the plant its green color. The cell wall surrounds an individual plant cell and is made up of fiber, and gives the plant its rigidity.


Is a cell membrane a plant or animal cell or both plus?

A plant has a cell membrane and so does an animal, but they're not just one. An animal has a cell membrane just like a plant but they look different and have different functions.

rigid, kinda like the sun or a sun flower. they are only on plant cells


How would you tell if a cell is a bacteria cell or a plant cell?

fIRST LOOK AT THE SHAPE. bACTERIA TEND TO HAVE A BLOB LIKE STRUCTURE. aND pLANT CELLS HAVE RIGID, RECTANGLE LIKE CELL WALLS. nEXT LOOK AT THE NUCLEUS... bACTERIS HAVE NO NUCLEUS, JUST A SET OF CHROMOSOMES. pLANt CELLS HAVE nUCLEUS WHICH YOU CAN EASILY TELL IF IT'S THERE. LASTLY LOOK AT COLOUR, pLANT CELLS USUALLY TEND TO BE GREEN BECAUSE THEY HAVE CHLOROPLASTS THAT TAKE UP MOST OF THE SPCE IN THE CELLL MAKING IT GREEN.

What happens to a plant cell in a salt solution?

Plant cells always have a strong cell wall surrounding them. When they take up water by osmosis they start to swell, but the cell wall prevents them from bursting. Plant cells become "turgid" when they are put in dilute solutions. Turgid means swollen and hard. The pressure inside the cell rises, eventually the internal pressure of the cell is so high that no more water can enter the cell. This liquid or hydrostatic pressure works against osmosis. Turgidity is very important to plants because this is what make the green parts of the plant "stand up" into the sunlight. When plant cells are placed in concentrated sugar/salt solutions they lose water by osmosis and they become "flaccid"; this is the exact opposite of "turgid". If you put plant cells into concentrated sugar solutions and look at them under a microscope you would see that the contents of the cells have shrunk and pulled away from the cell wall: they are said to be plasmolysed. When plant cells are placed in a solution which has exactly the same osmotic strength as the cells they are in a state between turgidity and flaccidity. We call this incipient plasmolysis. "Incipient" means "about to be".


What is the general shape of a plant cell?

Plant cells generally have a more rectangular shape because the cell wall is more rigid. In contrast, animal cells have a round or irregular shape because they do not have a cell wall.
