If you observed a cell under a microscope during cytokinesis how could you tell whether it was a plant cell or an animal acell?

Answer 1

If they have a cell wall then they are not animal cells. If a cell wall is present then it is a plant cell. Be careful because cell walls and cell membrane look similiar.

Cells of plants will normally have a chemical called chroloplast which is green in color,and plant cells are more retangluar in shape.

Answer 2

You can tell it's an animal cell if:

. It's round shaped (plant cells are more rectangular)

. centrioles are visible

. vacuoles are small

. no chloroplasts are present

Answer 3

During cytokinesis, a cell separates the two nuclei, formed during the later stages of cell division i.e. telophase. In plant cells, Golgi derived vesicles filled with complex carbohydrates such as cellulose or amylose accumulate between the two newly formed nuclei and fuse together forming a division plate with the carbs forming a new cell wall and the vesicle membranes forming the new cell membranes. I animal cells, a cleavage furrow is created in the membrane between the two nuclei, eventually pinching off the two new cells.

Answer 4

Animal cells have no Cell Wall, plant cells do.

Answer 5

All plants cell have to form a cell wall and you should see some signs of it.
