Detailed explanation-1: -Q. A plant and an animal are both living things. According to the Cell Theory, what can you conclude about these two very different organisms? Plants have cells but animals do not.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most living things need food, water, light, temperatures within certain limits, and air. Living things have a variety of characteristics that are displayed to different degrees: they respire, move, respond to stimuli, reproduce and grow, and are dependent on their environment.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The nucleus is the largest organelle in a eukaryotic cell and is considered to be the cell’s control center. It contains most of the cell’s DNA, which makes up chromosomes and is encoded with the genetic instructions for making proteins.
Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell.
