Raphides are needle-shaped crystals, usually of calcium oxalate, found in more than 200 families of plants. The crystals discourage animals from eating the plant because they irritating the animalsâ?? tissue.
it kills the bacteria like the other said
it kills the bacteria
which is a plant cell.
is it in a plant cell
A plant cell has a cell wall.
A plant cell has a cell wall but an animal cell doesn't.
in a plant, everywhere in a plant as they are plant cells
Yes, it does.
A raphide crystal is a spherical ball that has little spikes on them. They are blue and they will be poisonous when they have calcium oxalate.

There is no definitive information about the functions of raphide crystals but it is highly suggested that they serve as a defense mechanism against herbivores. These crystals are commonly found inside a chamber in plant cells that are called idioblasts.

They don't tend to occupy a particular colour since they are crystals it is assumed that it is clear.

needle-shaped crystals of calcium oxalate as the monohydrate or calcium carbonate as aragonite, found in more than 200 families of plants.
Yes, they usually are there in the vacuole membrane or large central vacuole.
---- 2.Answer: I believe the predominant theory of their purpose is defense. As far as I know, they are predominantly found in plants and would serve to irritate the mouth/throat of any predators.
along the cell membrane in the plant cell there is no cell wall in a plant cell
the cell plate form plant cell. lolz.............
