Question

base on your observation and study of plant and animal cells, cite differences and similarities between them

Answer 1

Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes.

Answer 2

Differences and similarities between animal cell and plant cell:

Animal cell:

1. They are generally small in size.
2. Cell wall is absent.
3. They have a single prominent Golgi apparatus which is highly complex.
4. Centrosomes and centrioles present.

Plant cell:

1. Plant cells are comparatively larger than the animal cells.
2. Cell wall which is made up of cellulose are present.
3. They have 'simpler units of Golgi apparatus', called dictyosomes.
4. Centrosomes and centrioles absent.

Similarities:  

• They both have plasma membrane.
• Nucleus, along with nuclear material, is present in both.  
• Both are eukaryotic multicellular organisms.
