What are the defferenciesand similarities of plant cell and animal cell?

Answer 1

differences include:

1.plant cell has cell wall whereas animal cell lacks cell wall.

2.plant cell cannot change its shape whereas animal cell often change its shape.

3.plant cell is usually larger in size but animal cell is comparatively smaller in size.

4.plant cell has fewer mitochondria but animal cell has numerous.

5.plant cells exposed to sunlight possess chlorophyll containing plastids called chloroplasts whereas clorophyll is absent in animal cells.

6.plant cells can synthesise all amino acids,vitamins and co-enzymes but animal cell can't synthesize all amino acids.

7.plant cell has glyoxysomes but animal cell has no glyoxysomes.

8.plant cell lacks centrioles whereas animal cell has centrioles.

plastids are found in plant cells but lacks in animal cells.

9.nucleus lies in peripheral cytoplasm but in the centre in animal cells.

10.lysosomes are rare in plant cells but typical lysosomes occur in animal cells.

cytokinesis occurs by cell plate method but in animal cells it occurs by constriction.

11.crystals may occur in plant cells but are absent in animal cells.

12.reserve food in plant cell is starch and fat but glycogen and fat in animal cell.

similarities:

1.both have endoplasmic reticulum.

2.both have vacuoles.

3.both have mitochondrian.

4.plasma membrane is present in both.

5.microtubules are present in both.

6.both have nucleus.

7.micro filaments are present in both.

8.both have sap and tonoplasts.
