The cell wall is a tough, yet flexible layer surrounding certain types of cells. It functions as a structural support and protection to prevent water from entering.

Are Eukaryotic cells represented by most bacteria cells and some algal cells?

No, eukaryotic cells are not represented by bacteria cells. Bacteria are prokaryotic cells, while eukaryotic cells are found in organisms such as animals, plants, fungi, and protists. Some algal cells are eukaryotic and share similarities with other eukaryotic cells in terms of having a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.


What are the common structures in all plants algal and animal cells?

All living things are made up of cells. The structures of different types of cells are related to their functions. Animal cells and plant cells have features in common, such as a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes. Plant and algal cells also have a cell wall, and often have chloroplasts and a permanent vacuole. Bacterial and yeast cells have different structures to animal and plant cells. Dissolved substances pass into and out of cells by diffusion.


What is one structure that bacterial cells contain that animal cells do not?

One structure that bacterial cells contain, which animal cells do not, is the cell wall. The bacterial cell wall, primarily composed of peptidoglycan, provides structural support and protection. In contrast, animal cells lack a cell wall and instead have a flexible plasma membrane. This difference in structure is a key factor in distinguishing prokaryotic cells (like bacteria) from eukaryotic cells (like those in animals).


Which cells might not contain any chlorplasts?

Animal cells,prokariyotic cells,protozoans and fungi do not have.They are in plant and algal cells.


Where is the startch production center within many agal cells?

Starch is typically produced in the chloroplasts of plant cells, not within algal cells. In algal cells, starch may be stored as a reserve energy source, but the production center can vary depending on the type of algae.

Do bacterial and living cells both contain cytoplasm?

Yes, both bacterial and eukaryotic cells contain cytoplasm, which is a jelly-like substance that fills the cell and surrounds cellular organelles. Cytoplasm contains various molecules and structures that are essential for the cell's function and metabolism.


What is the role of heat shock in bacterial transformation?

Heat shock is a process used in bacterial transformation to make the bacterial cells more permeable to foreign DNA. By briefly exposing the cells to high temperatures, the cell membrane becomes more flexible, allowing the uptake of DNA molecules more easily. This increases the efficiency of the transformation process by promoting the incorporation of the desired genetic material into the bacterial cells.


Bacterial cells do not have a genetic material?

no, bacterial cells do not have genetic material


Do bacterial cells have a nuclues?

Bacterial cells are not eukaryotic cells, which means they do not have a nucleus. They do, however, have chromosome.


Do plant cell's animal cell's and bacterial cell's all have a plasma membrane?

Yes, all plant cells, animal cells, and bacterial cells have a plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cell and regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cell.

Does the human body have more bacterial or human cells?

it has more human cells actually the human body has more bacterial cells. Although it may seem more likely that the human body would have more human cells than bacterial cells. -Vasillisa
