BONUS QUESTION! True or false, plant and animal cells are 100% the same?
A
true
B
false
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How do plant and animal cells differ? Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, so they contain membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria. However, plant cells and animal cells do not look exactly the same or have all of the same organelles, since they each have different needs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The statement that is incorrect is a) Only animal cells have mitochondria. Plant cells have mitochondria as well. The other three statements are true: only plant cells have cell walls, both animal and plant cells have cytoplasm, and only plant cells have chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant cells have a cell wall. On the other hand, Animal cells lack a cell wall. However, Plants rely on their cell walls for stability. Plants use chloroplasts to perform photosynthesis, which allows them to produce food, and thus they have it, however, Animal cells lack chloroplasts.
