animal cell don't need cell wall because they have micro filaments and micro tubules to hold the shape of the cell.

Why do you think an animal cell does not have the part you name in?

An animal cell does not have a cell wall because animal cells have a flexible cell membrane that allows for movement and shape changes. Additionally, animal cells do not need the rigid support that a cell wall provides in plant cells.


What dose an animal cell have that a plant cell dose not have?

An animal cell actually has less things than plant cells. Plant cells have cell walls used to hold the cells up and keep them sturdy while animal cells do not because it would make animals too stiff to move. Plant cells have the cell walls because they need to stand up and don't need to move.


Why do you think ananiml cell does not have vaculoe?

Animal cells do not have a central vacuole like plant cells because their primary focus is on maintaining cell structure and function through other organelles like lysosomes and mitochondria. While animal cells may have small vacuoles involved in cellular processes such as exocytosis or storage, they are not central or as prominent as the vacuole in plant cells which primarily stores water and nutrients.


Difference between plan and animal cells?

The fundamental difference between plant cells and animal cells is that plant cells have much larger vacuoles, possess chloroplasts, and have a cell wall as opposed to a cell membrane. Animal cells do not need these things for the simple fact that they can't convert solar energy into chemical energy and don't need that much water to survive.


What is the function of the animal cell wall?

By definition, animal cells have no cell wall -- only plant cells do. That being said, the major function of the cell wall in plant cells is to control cell pressure due to the influx and exit of water into and out of the cell. Turgor in the plant cell is part of what gives a plant structure and helps it "stand up." Animal cells do not need this characteristic, as they have other mechanisms for maintaining structure and shape.

Which oraganelles are found in both plant cells but not in animal cells?

Chlorophyll- which gives it its green pigment, and the Cell Wall, animal cells only have a plasma membrane. animal cells dont need chlorophyll because they dont make their own food like plants.


Why dont animal cells need cellwalls unlike plant cells?

because cell walls of the plant cells makes the plant stands straight


Why do plant cells have cell walls and animal cell dont?

Plant cells have cell walls because they need the extra protection. This is because plant cells cannot move out of the way of danger like animals can.


Why do plant cells have cell walls but animal cells dont?

Well, a cell wall gives the plant cell it's straight structure, which makes the plant stand up and animals can support there own weight and plants need protection that gives the cell wall and animals dont need that protection.

How would you decide if a cell an animal cell was an animal cell or a plant cell?

They have different shapes. Animal cells are circular, and plant cells are rectangular. Sorry I don't know any other way to check. You'd need a microscope. **This is wrong. the real answer is that animal cells have centrisomes while plant cells have chloroplasts and rigid cell walls.


Does a plant or a animal have a cell wall?

Plant cells have cell walls. Animal cells do not. The reason why animals do not have cell walls is so that we are flexible enough to move around (which plants do not need to do).


Why dont animal cells have a cell wall?

Before answering this question, it is important to know the function of a cell wall. Cell walls are found in plants to provide rigidity to support the shape of the cell. Animals do not require those functions in cells, hence they do not need cell walls.
