Cell X is shaped like a circle because it is an animal cell, which means it does not have a cell wall, and cell Y is shaped like a rectangle because it is a plant cell, which means it has a cell wall.

Answer

Cell X is shaped like a circle because it is a plant cell, which means it does not have a cell wall, and cell Y is shaped like a rectangle because it is an animal cell, which means it has a cell wall.

Answer

Cell X is shaped like a circle because it is an animal cell, which means it has a cell membrane, and cell Y is shaped like a rectangle because it is a plant cell, which means it does not have a cell membrane.

Answer

Cell X is shaped like a circle because it is a plant cell, which means it has a cell membrane, and cell Y is shaped like a rectangle because it is an animal cell, which means it does not have a cell membrane.
