Question

question

1. what is the shape of the cheek cells?
2. in one or a few words, what does the plasma membrane do?
3. where is the plasma membrane?
4. do animal cells (your cells) have a cell wall?
5. where is the cytoplasm?

Explanation:

1. Cheek cells are typically irregularly shaped (squamous) as they are epithelial cells.
2. The plasma membrane acts as a barrier, controls what enters and exits the cell (selective permeability).
3. The plasma membrane surrounds the cell, forming its outer boundary.
4. Animal cells do not have a cell wall; only plant cells, fungi, and some prokaryotes have cell walls.
5. The cytoplasm is the jelly - like substance within the cell, between the plasma membrane and the nucleus (in eukaryotic cells).

Answer:

1. Irregularly shaped (squamous).
2. Selective permeability (controls entry and exit).
3. Surrounds the cell (outer boundary).
4. No.
5. Between the plasma membrane and the nucleus (in eukaryotes).
