Do blood cells have a rigid cell wall? True or False.

If false, explain how you would correct the statement to make it true.

Answer (3)

I don't think blood cells even have walls it would only be plant cells that have walls. Blood cells are like animal cells they don't have walls because the cell membrane allows them to take any shape so they can live through that environment.

The only cells with walls would be those of plants . Because the cell membrane enables them to adopt any shape, blood cells, like animal cells, do not have walls in order to survive in that environment.
What is cell wall?
As it repeatedly passes through tiny capillaries during microcirculation, the flexible membrane of the biconcave discocyte RBC has a high surface-to-volume ratio, allowing the RBC to experience significant, reversible elastic deformation.
The hard cell walls that enclose the cells of bacteria, fungus, algae, and higher plants are an essential component of the cell itself.
Therefore, animal cells in tissues are strongly connected with an extracellular matrix made of proteins and polysaccharides , even though they are not enclosed in cell walls.

Blood cells do not have a rigid cell wall; this statement is false. Instead, blood cells are surrounded by a flexible cell membrane that allows them to change shape and function effectively. The flexibility of these cells is crucial for processes like circulation and oxygen transport.
