Question

What is the difference between plant cell and animal cell and bacterial cell in a tabular form?

Answer 1

Answer:

An animal cell is eukaryotic and has

· A nucleus containing the DNA

· Mitochondria that produce the cell’s energy currency – ATP

· ER where proteins are made

· The golgi apparatus where molecules are sorted and packaged for transportation

· Lysosomes that break down unwanted molecules

· A cell membrane that lets things in and out

A plant cell is also eukaryotic and has everything an animal cell’s got as well as

· A vacuole- a space for storing sugars

· A cell wall to provide structure and to protect the cell

· Chloroplasts that photosynthesise and transform light energy into chemical energy in the form of sugars (like glucose)

A bacterial cell is prokaryotic and has

· No nucleus (instead the DNA is in the middle of the DNA as a nucleoid, with other small plasmids around it)

· A cell wall to protect the cell and stop it shrinking or bursting

· Flagella that rotate and propel the bacterium along

· Ribosomes to make proteins

Answer 2

1. Size:

plant cell-usually larger.

animal cell-usually smaller.

2. cell wall:

plant cell-A definite cell wall , made up of cellulose.

animal cell- no cell wall

3.Vacuoles:

plant cell- large and prominent.

animal cell - Vacuoles,if any,are small and temporary;concerned with excretion or secretion.
