Answers
Answer:
◾Animal cells are also the basic functional unit of life for animals constituting all cell organelles that perform a variety of functions to support the animals’ metabolisms.
◾Animal cells are generally smaller than plant cells with their cells ranging from 10-30um in length.
◾Animal cells shape and sizes vary greatly from irregular shapes to round shapes, most defined by the function they perform.
◾Plant cells are basic functional units of plants constituting all cell organelles performing a variety of functions that support the plants’ metabolisms.
◾Plant cells are larger than animal cells with the cell size ranging from 10um-100um in length.
◾Plant cells similar in shape with most cells being rectangular or cube-shaped.
Animal cell
*These are generally smaller in size
*cell wall is absent. An animal cell is enclosed by thin plasma membrane only
*Nucleus lies in centre.
*These contain many small vacuole
*Many mitrocondria are present
Plant cell
*These are usually larger than animal cells
*Plasma membrane is surrounded by a Rigid cell wall mades up of cellulose.
*Nucleus lies in the periphery.
*A large central vacuole is present
*A few mitrocondria are present
