What are some structural explanation for why animal and plant cells differ in response to changes in the extracellular space?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The animal cells produce the collagen but the plant cell does not produce collagen that responsible for producing the complex structure of protein and carbohydrates that is called extracellular matrix cell. Collagen is an important protein that provides strength to the structural integrity. On the other hand, the plant has not collagen so they have their extracellular supportive structure. The cell wall is so rigid and covered by the cell that protects it that provides shape and support to it. The plant cell also made up of molecules and these are called cellulose. These cellulose structured into the fibers that are called micro-fibrils

Why is it important to prevent gorillas from becoming extinct?
krek1111 [17]
Gorillas are a predator. They eat food and rarely ever get killed for food. But if we take away their habitat by making buildings and houses then they will die for other causes like hunger. If the gorillas go extinct then the food change will get all messed up. The food they normally eat will over populate meaning the food gorillas eat (like fruit) will over populates and take over the area. That means it will start to take up the space that other plants need to grow. The other plants that other animals will need to eat will slowly start moving away because their food is dying. They will start to go somewhere else and mess up that habitat too. Those animals will eat the food needed by the animals that lived there originally and food will become scarce for animals that all need the same type of resources.
