The cell walls around the cell membrane all link together with other cells. This creates a regular pattern and makes them link together more closely, compared to an animal cell which is mostly random.

∙ 12y agoPlant cells have a rigid cell wall which gives a very strong structure to the cell allowing it to keep it's structure, yet animal cells don't have this cell wall so they just resort to a sort of circular cell shape.

∙ 12y agoBecause the rectangular shape allows the cells to be able to neatly stack against one another with a minimal amount of empty space between adjacent cells.
This is necessary for structural support in plants, which do not have an internal or external skeleton as do animals.
The cell walls of plants are made of cellulose and are rigid - by being tightly packed, the serve the same function as a skeleton.

∙ 14y agoThe reason why plant cells are square are because they have a cell wall and animal cells dont.!!
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoit is because plant cells have cellulose in them.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoPlant's cell walls are rectangular because it allows the plant to hold it's shape and be stable.

∙ 13y agoYes, plant cells are rectangular. Only plant cells are rectangular~(animal cells are round)~

Are all animal cells round?
No, plant cells are square. Animal cells have a blob form with cilia hairs surrounding them, unlike a plant cell.
Why do animal cells look different from plant cells?
Animal cells are shaped differently from plant cells because they have different functions and have different parts like it doen't have the cell wall and the plant does.
What cell has a square shape?
plant cells are shaped like squares isnt it obvious?
Why are plants squard and animal cells round?
Plant cells are not necessarily square, and animal cells are not necessarily round. Both types of cells are usually compressed against their neighbors. Animal cells are more flexible, so alone, they will generally be rounder, whereas plant cells are confined by a cell wall, which keeps them rigid.
What kind of cells are plant cells?
All plant cells are eukaryotic cells
Are animal cells more round than plant cells?
Animal cells have a round shape where as a plant cell is more square.
What cell is square?
Plant cells, OMG how did you not know that
How are animal cells are differentfrom plant cells?
Plant cells are more square shaped, while animal cells are more round-like. Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts while animal cells don't have either of these, and plant cells have a larger vacuole than animal cells. :)
Are all animal cells round?
No, plant cells are square. Animal cells have a blob form with cilia hairs surrounding them, unlike a plant cell.
Why the plant organelle have to be a square?
because plant cells build up like bricks, and because they have a cell wall that protects it and it just happens to be a square
Why is the shape on a plant cell straighert than an animal cells?
Basically, plant cells have walls and vascular plants use these walls to maintain turgor by holding on to a amount of water in the cells. Gives many plant cells a somewhat square look.
What is the difference between plant cells eukaryote cells and prokaryote cells?
cell is just a general term. plant cells have large vacuoles, rigid cell wall, and a square shape. eukaryote cells have a nucleus, whereas a prokaryote does not.
Why do animal cells look different from plant cells?
Animal cells are shaped differently from plant cells because they have different functions and have different parts like it doen't have the cell wall and the plant does.
How are bacterial cell different from animal and plant cells?
bacterial are much smaller plant cells are square shaped and animal cells are round also bacteria are prokaryotes,they dont have a nucleus,unlike plants and animal cells that do have a nucleus.
What cell has a square shape?
plant cells are shaped like squares isnt it obvious?
Chloroplasts are found in what types of cells?
Plant cells, not animal cells.
Is it easy to tell animal cells form plant cells?
The plant cell will have a square shape, to a degree, as the cell wall is in plant cells and not animal cells. You can see the green of chloroplasts and usually a large central vacuole. Animal cell more round and not having the " extras " listed above.
