I am doing this for homework and I got some good information from these websites: http://www.answers.com/red%20blood%20cells Unfortunately, I can't find much on cheek cells. The information on this question http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_importance_of_cheek_cells seems to have some good information on them though.

What is the biggest a red blood cell or a cheek cell?

A cheek cell is generally larger than a red blood cell. Cheek cells, which are epithelial cells, typically measure about 30-60 micrometers in diameter, while red blood cells are about 6-8 micrometers in diameter. Thus, in terms of size, cheek cells are significantly bigger than red blood cells.


What are the differences in cell organelles between onion cells potato cells cheek cells and lettuce cells?

How is it possible to determine blood types from other body cells such as cheek cells or skin cells?

Blood type is determined by the presence or absence of specific antigens on red blood cells. These antigens are not only present on red blood cells but also on other body cells, including cheek cells and skin cells. By analyzing the presence of these antigens on these cells, blood type can be determined.

How is Red blood cell similar to cheek cell?

Red blood cells and cheek cells are both types of human cells that share fundamental characteristics, such as being eukaryotic and containing cellular organelles. They both play vital roles in the body; red blood cells are primarily responsible for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide, while cheek cells contribute to the structure and protection of the oral cavity. Additionally, both cell types can be observed under a microscope, revealing their distinct shapes and structures. However, they differ significantly in function and morphology, with red blood cells being anucleate and specialized for transport, while cheek cells are nucleated and involved in tissue protection.


What cells are there in a human cheeck cell?
