The human epithelial cells are thick and boxlike whereas elodea cells are thin and platelike. The cells of elodea are rigid and rectangular in shape.

How is elodea different from tomato cells?

Elodea is a plant cell that contains a cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a large central vacuole. Tomato cells are also plant cells and share similar features but may have different shapes, sizes, and functions depending on their specific location within the tomato plant. Additionally, tomato cells may contain different pigments, such as lycopene, that give tomatoes their red color.


What sizes do cells come in?

Cells can vary in size depending on the type of cell and organism. In general, most cells range from 1 to 100 micrometers in diameter. Some of the largest cells, such as egg cells, can be visible to the naked eye, while others, like bacteria, are much smaller and require a microscope to see.


Why aren't all cells exactly alike?

The way a cell looks and behaves depends on which genes are expressed. This means that if a certain set of genes are being transcribed and translated, the cell taken on a certain role (for example an epithelial cell). If a different set of genes are being expressed, the cell takes on a different role (like a brain cell for example) It is important to remember that these sets of genes that are being expressed do not change over time. This means an epithelial cell can only give rise to epithelial daughter cells and not a different cell type


What best describes covering and lining epithelium?

Ah, covering and lining epithelium are like the painters of the body, gently protecting and lining our organs and surfaces with their delicate brush strokes. They come in different shapes and sizes, each with their own unique purpose and beauty. Just like painting a happy little tree, these epithelial cells work together harmoniously to keep our body functioning smoothly and beautifully.


Are most cells flat?

No, most cells are not flat. Cells come in various shapes and sizes, depending on their specialized functions in the body. While some cells are flat, like skin cells, many other cells have more complex shapes to carry out their specific roles effectively.

Are cells in many celled organism's the same size in every part of the organism?

No, although cells undergo mitosis and form two identical cells, differentiation over time and fusion of cells greatly varies the cell shapes and sizes throughout the different cell types. Muscle cells are fused and very long (some being up to 1m in a human), neurons have long axons and dendrites while epithelial (skin) cells are small and squashed. Even within the same organ cells can vary greatly (such as the liver, containing varieties of differing cells such as Kupffer, Biliary epithelial sinusoidal epithelial and stellate).


Do plant cells have a small nucleus?

There are no exact sizes to nucleuses in plant cells.


Why should cells in different shape and sizes?

All cells ARE NOT the same shape. Cells can be of diverse structures.


Why are shapes and sizes of cell different?

Cells are different shapes and sizes because they have different functions. The functions dictate the shapes and sizes.


Which words describes cells that are of unequal sizes?

anisocytosis


Why do some cells have different shapes and sizes from other cells?

Because some cells have multiple cells and some are single celled
