|
Plants and animal cells have cell walls for protection.
|
|
|
Animal cells have one large vacuole; the plant cell has tiny ones.
|
|
|
Plant cells contain chlorophyll; animal cells have lysosomes.
|
|
|
Animal cells are box shaped; plant cells are circular
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Animal cells have centrosomes (or a pair of centrioles), and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, plasmodesmata, and plastids used for storage, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lysosomes are membrane bounded organelles found in animal and plant cells. They vary in shape, size and number per cell and appear to operate with slight differences in cells of yeast, higher plants and mammals. Lysosomes contribute to a dismantling and re-cycling facility.
Detailed explanation-3: -Centrosomes and lysosomes are found in animal cells, but do not exist within plant cells. The lysosomes are the animal cell’s “garbage disposal”, while in plant cells the same function takes place in vacuoles.
Detailed explanation-4: -Complete answer: Plant cells are rectangular and bigger than animal cells. Even though plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic and share a few cell organelles, plant cells perform different activities than animal cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -Lysosomes are found in all animal cells, but are most numerous in disease-fighting cells, such as white blood cells. This is because white blood cells must digest more material than most other types of cells in their quest to battle bacteria, viruses, and other foreign intruders.
