Plant cells have a cell wall, which provides structural support to the cell and prevents major shape changes.

Animal cells do not have a cell wall, so their shapes are more irregular than plant cells.

How do this four cell types differ in shape?

Different cells have many different shapes and sizes to adapt to their function. For example, a root hair cell is long where as a red blood cell is round with hole in it quite like a doughnut.


Are animal cells and plant cells the same size?

no not all cells are the same size. Cells come in different sizes depending on where the cell is found or its organelles inside. Some cells have a flagellum that hepls it move and some cells have cilia that hepl it move these are two different ways of moving and thay are different sizes.


Are plants cells larger or smaller than animal cells?

I would think a plant cell. But that is not a fact so don't trust it completely. The only reason why I think that is that plant cells have extra large vaculoes to store food/energy. well a plant cell because the cell wall make it look taller and the bottom make it look larger but maybe im not right Cell walls,chloroplasts, larger vacuoles, centrioles and flagellum also make the plant cell bigger than the animal cell.


What observations support the claim that plant and animals cell are eukaryotic?

Observations supporting the claim that plant and animal cells are eukaryotic include the presence of membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum, which are characteristic of eukaryotic cells. Additionally, both plant and animal cells have complex structures, including cytoskeletons, that provide support and shape. Microscopic examination reveals larger cell sizes compared to prokaryotic cells, further indicating their eukaryotic nature. Furthermore, the presence of linear DNA organized into chromosomes within the nucleus reinforces the classification of these cells as eukaryotic.


Why are cells different in shapes and sizes?

cell are the basic building block of an organism .they are present every where in body.cells are different in shapes and size because they have to perform there functions accordingly where they are present.

Why are cells different sizes and shapes?

Size and shape are directly related to structure and function of said cell. Also, for example, plant cells are often in rectangles as they have cell walls where as animal cells are often 'blobby' because they have a cell wall and no cell membrane

Do the cells in many-celled organism often have different sizes and shapes?

With cells, the rule of thumb is, structure defines function. Different cells throughout the body perform different functions. To perform these functions, they need different shapes. They all have the same DNA, but different "blueprints" are activated depending on where they are in the body.


Is the whales largest animal on earth have larger cells than humans why?

No. All cells are the same size and shape, depending on the exact species of the cells. All cells are microscopic. However, because whales are bigger, they have billions of more cells than a human.


What does the size and shape of a cell depends on its?

The size and shape of a cell depend on its specific function within an organism. Cells that need to perform specific tasks will have shapes and sizes that allow them to efficiently carry out those functions. For example, red blood cells are biconcave discs to increase surface area for oxygen exchange, while sperm cells have a tail for motility.
