Eurkaryotic and plant cell similaritirles and differences
Answer (1)
SimilaritiesBoth are eukaryotic cells, meaning they have a defined nucleus that contains DNA.Both have membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, ribosomes, lysosomes, and cytoplasm.Both have a cell membrane that regulates what enters and leaves the cell.Both carry out important processes like protein synthesis, energy production, and cellular respiration.DifferencesCell Wall - Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose outside their cell membrane, while animal cells do not.Shape - Plant cells usually have a fixed rectangular or square shape; animal cells are more irregular or round.Chloroplasts - Present in plant cells for photosynthesis; absent in animal cells.Vacuoles - Plant cells have a large central vacuole that stores water and maintains cell pressure; animal cells have small, multiple vacuoles or none.Centrioles - Present in most animal cells and involved in cell division; generally absent in plant cells.Lysosomes - Common in animal cells; rare or absent in plant cells.Nutrition - Plant cells are primarily autotrophic (make their own food via photosynthesis), while animal cells are heterotrophic (consume organic material).
