∙ 11y agoThere is a widespread belief among the public and even
among chemists that plants do not contain cholesterol. This
error is the result (in part) of the fact that plants generally
contain only small quantities of cholesterol and that analytical
methods for the detection of cholesterol in this range were
not well developed until recently

The cell membrane of animal cells contains which lipid not seen in plant cells?
The cell membrane of animal cells contains which lipid not seen in plant cells is cholesterol. Cholesterol will not form a membrane by itself.
What tells you that eating corn would not add to your cholesterol level?
It is a plant and only plant cells have no cholesterol.
1 thing that animal cell have but plant cell doesn't have?
Animal cell has cholesterol in the membrane, plant cells don't.
What are three thing different animal cell and plant cell?
Plant cell has a cellwall,chloroplast,glyoxisomes.Animal cells lack those.Animal cells have cholesterol in plasma membrane,centrioles.Plant cells do not have.Plant cells produce all 20 amino acids.Animal cells produce only few.Animal cells store glycogen while plant cells store starch.
What do a animal cell have that a plant cell dont have?
Animal cells have centrioles (involved in cell division)Some animal cells have other specialized compoundslike hemoglobin in red blood cells and cholesterol in others.Animal cells have small vacuoles and vesicles wilst plant cells have a large central vacuole.animal cells also have a flagellum, and lysosomes. plants dont.
How does insulin enter animal cells?
Cholesterol enters animal cells when the animal consumes and processes something that contains cholesterol. The cholesterol then enters through the cells permeable surface.
Does tea increase cholesterol?

Chloroplasts are found in what types of cells?
Plant cells, not animal cells.
Why do animal cell membranes have different shapes then plant cell membranes?
Because the animal cells contain cholesterol as the major sterol in the plasma membrane whereas in plant cells the plasma membrane contain stigmasterol as the major sterol. How could you not know this? Are you a 1st grader?
What organelles do plant cells have that animal cells don't have?
Answer-Animal cells have centrioles, which are involved in cell division.-Some animal cells have other specialized compounds; for example, hemoglobin in red blood cells and cholesterol in other cells.-Animal cells have small vacuoles and vesicles or none while plant cells have a large central vacuole.animal cells also have a flagellum, and lysosomes. plants dont.Animals have centrioles in the centrosome whereas plant cells have centrosomes but no centrioles. Centrosomes are important in cell division. Centrioles form microtubules during cell division.
What is the primary function of cholesterol in animal cells?
Your body converts cholesterol into Vitamin D. Cholesterol also facilitates memory.
Is cholesterol consumed in the diet from animals sources?
Cholesterol is not part of plant's needs for survival. Due to this plant's will not contain cholesterol which is found in animal sources. In rabbit meat for example the level of cholesterol is low, this is due rabbits low need of cholesterol during life.
