Question

if we pric a plant and an animal cell
which one of them would lose its shape

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is an animal cell.

Explanation:

If we prick a plant and an animal cell, then the animal cell would lose its shape because of the absence of a cell wall. The plant cell has both a cell wall (made up of cellulose) and a cell membrane. However, an animal cell only has a cell membrane, not a cell wall. Cell wall functions in the cell are protection against osmotic and mechanical stress and also provide tensile strength. These all things or functions of the cell wall help the plant cell to maintain the shape of the cell. In animal cells, there is no factor for tensile strength and protection against stresses. Hence, it loses its shape after pricking from its actual environment.
