Question

Which structure are found in both plant and animal cells

Answer 1

Question:

Which structures/organelles are found in both plant and animal cells?

Answer:

Cytoplasm contains many structures that perform various functions of the cell , they are called organelles.

Many structures are found in both plant and animal cells. They are-

• Cell membrane is found in both animal and plant cells.
• Nucleus is found in both animal and plant cells.
• Cytoplasm is found in both animal and plant cells.
• Mitochondria is found in both animal and plant cells.
• Endoplasmic reticulum is found in both animal and plant cells.
• Golgi apparatus is found in both animal and plant cells.
• Lysosomes is found in both animal and plant cells.

Additional Information:

What are the exceptions?

• Cell wall is only present in plant cells.
• Plastids are only present in plant cells.
• Centrioles are only present in animal cells.
• Chlorophyll is only present in plant cells.

Few differences between plant cell and animal cell -

[ Note - You can also write above exception as difference, e.g Cell wall is present in plant cells but absent in animal cells.]

• Plant cells are larger in size.
• Animal cells are smaller in size.

$\qquad$

• Plant cells cannot change its shape.
• Animal cells can change its shape.

$\qquad$

• Plant cells can synthesize all amino acids.
• Animal cells cannot synthesize all amino acids.

$\qquad$

• In plant cell, nucleus lies on one side.
• In animal cell, nucleus lies in centre.

$\qquad$

• In plant cell , reserve food is glucose.
• In animal cell, reserve food is glyogen.

Answer 2

Nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and a cell membrane are membrane-bound organelles found in both plant and animal cells

Explanation:

• The cytoplasm contains many structures that perform various functions of the cell called organelles.
• Plant and animal cells share many organelles like Nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and, cell membrane.
• Mitochondria: It is also known as the power house of cells that provides energy for the cell by converting different forms of reactants into ATP.
• Cytoplasm:  Cytoplasm is a thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane. All of the organelles in eukaryotic cells, such as the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, are located in the cytoplasm.
• Nucleus: A nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell's chromosomes. Pores in the nuclear membrane allow for the passage of molecules in and out of the nucleus.
