Question

Which of the structural component (s) differentiate between animal and plant cell?

Answer 1

Answer:

They comprise of other organelles and cellular structures which carry out specific functions necessary for the cell to function properly. The main difference between the animal and plant cell is that the animal cell is not able to make their own food. ... The nucleus of the animal cell is bound by membrane.

Answer 2

Complete question:

(Cell wall, plasma membrane, mitochondria, nucleus, vacuole, Chloroplast, Golgi complex, ER, Lysosome)

Which of the structural component (s) differentiate between animal and plant cells?

Answer:

Cell wall, Vacuole, and Chloroplast are the structural components that differentiate between animal and plant cells.

Explanation:

• A cell represents the structural and functional unit of all living organisms.

• Structurally, the cell is an organised mass of protoplasm surrounded by a plasma membrane.

• Typical cells don't exist in nature as cells differ from one another.

• Most of the structural components are common in both plant and animals cell such as plasma membrane, mitochondria, nucleus, Golgi complex, ER, Lysosome etc.

• The basic structural component (s) differentiate between animal and plant cells are Cell wall, Vacuole, and Chloroplast.

1. Cell Wall:

• A cell wall is a fairly rigid, dead thick, protective, supportive layer present external to the plasma membrane.

• It is found in plant cells, fungi and some bacteria but is absent in animal cells.

• It provides a definite shape and size to the plant cell and protects against mechanical injury.

2. Chloroplast:

• It is generally absent in animal cells.

• These green plastids possess chlorophyll pigments which are concerned with photosynthesis.
• The presence of plastids makes the plants autotrophs/producers whose absence makes the animals heterotrophs.

3. Vacuole:

• These non-cytoplasmic, single membrane-bound organelles are present in plant cells.

• A large central vacuole is the characteristic of matured plant cells while animal cells have small or almost no vacuoles in them.

Therefore, the structural components that differentiate between animal and plant cells are the Cell wall, Vacuole, and Chloroplast.
