Similarities between plant and animal cells:
Plant and animal cells both contain:
The cell membrane, which is a barrier that controls what enters and exits
Cytoplasm, which is a jelly-like substance within the cell membrane that keeps all the organelles in place.
Nucleus, which acts as the cell's brain by housing the cell's genetic information and regulates its activities.
Ribosomes, an organelle responsible for making proteins.
Mitochondrion, the organelle that produces the most energy for the cell.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER), an organelle responsible for creating proteins.
Differences Between Plant and Animal Cells:
Plant Cells
Plant Cells
Plant cells contain:
The cell wall, which provides support and protection.
Large vacuoles, which provide support by storing water and preventing the cell from bursting.
Chloroplasts, which is an organelle responsible for photosynthesis.
Animal Cells
Animal Cells
Animal cells contain:
Centrioles and centrosomes, which are the organelles involved in cell division.
Lysosomes, an organelle respsonsible for breaking down waste and debris.
Plant Cell Major Functions
Plant Cell Major Functions
One of the plant cell's major functions is photosynthesis, which is the process of turning light energy into energy for the plant. Another major function of plant cells is storage, storing water causes pressure with the cell wall, and this pressure helps keep the plant stand up right.
Animal Cell Major Functions
Animal Cell Major Functions
One of the animal cell's major functions is absorbing nutrients and converting it into energy. Another major function of an animal cell is giving the animal its structure. The last function of the animal cell is helping the animals move.
