Plant cells have cell walls; animal cells do not. As noted in the description of the prokaryotic cell wall, the cell must also have a plasma membrane. Plant cells have cell walls in addition to plasma membranes, not instead of plasma membranes. Plant cell walls are composed all or partially of a carbohydrate called cellulose, which is quite different from the peptidoglycan of prokaryotic cell walls. The primary function of the cell wall is support, and in-conjunction with the central vacuole, to create turgor (stiffness) in plant structures like leave.

What happens to plants if they enter the mantle?

If plants were to enter the Earth's mantle, they would be subjected to extreme temperatures and pressures that exceed their survival limits. The mantle's conditions would cause the organic material in plants to decompose rapidly, and any cellular structure would be destroyed. Essentially, plants could not survive in the mantle, and they would be reduced to basic chemical components through processes like melting and mineralization.


How world would be different if C4 plants and CAM plants had not evolved?

Good question Answer: The Cell Theory has 3 parts: All living organisms are composed of one or more cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function, and cells come only from the reproduction of existing cells. Hope this helps!


What is the special building structure that is used for growing plants in an area where they would not normally grow that well?

The special building structure used for growing plants in areas where they would not normally thrive is called a greenhouse. Greenhouses provide a controlled environment by regulating temperature, humidity, and light, allowing for year-round cultivation of plants. They can be constructed from materials like glass or plastic, which allow sunlight to enter while trapping heat. This enables the growth of a wide variety of plants in climates that would otherwise be unsuitable.


What is the organelle now that gives plants the structure they need to stand up tall?

i think that would be the cell wall


What plant structure would have the most chloroplasts?

Leaf cells would have the most chloroplasts, as they are the primary location for photosynthesis in plants. Chloroplasts are responsible for converting light energy into chemical energy, and leaves are optimized for capturing sunlight for this process.
