EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Plant cells have high concentrations of molecules dissolved in their cytoplasm, which causes water to come into the cell under normal conditions and makes the cell’s central vacuole swell and press against the cell wall.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most of the earth’s higher organisms are eukaryotes, including all plants and animals. Hence, these cells share some similarities typically associated with eukaryotes. For example, all eukaryotic cells consist of a nucleus, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, peroxisomes, mitochondria, ribosomes and other cell organelles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria: Mitochondria are the power houses of animal, plant and fungal cells. They are found in the cytoplasm and the majority of the respiration chemical reactions take place in the mitochondria, which releases chemical energy from food molecules.
