what are the main differences between plant and animals cells in terms of structure and function?
Answer (1)
Plant and animal cells share many parts, but they also have clear differences in structure and function. Cell Wall – Plant cells have a rigid cell wall outside the cell membrane, giving them shape and support. Animal cells do not have this.Chloroplasts – Found only in plant cells; these are responsible for photosynthesis (making food using sunlight). Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.Vacuole – Plant cells usually have one large central vacuole that stores water and helps maintain shape. Animal cells have small vacuoles or sometimes none.Shape – Plant cells are more rectangular because of the cell wall, while animal cells are rounder or irregular in shape.
