AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria, but only plant cells have chloroplasts. Plants don’t get their sugar from eating food, so they need to make sugar from sunlight. This process (photosynthesis) takes place in the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria are present in both animal and plant cells. Cell wall and chloroplasts are present in only in plant cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant and animal cells also have many common organelles, including the nucleus, cell membrane (called the plasma membrane in animals), endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and cytoplasm, as well as several others.

Detailed explanation-4: -Animal cells and plant cells are similar in that they are both eukaryotic cells. These cells have a true nucleus, which houses DNA and is separated from other cellular structures by a nuclear membrane. Both of these cell types have similar processes for reproduction, which include mitosis and meiosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
