Plant vs Animal Cells - Jacob Wallace
One of the main differences between plant and animal cells is that plant cells have cell wall, chloroplasts, and larger vacuoles, while animal cells don't. Animal cells usually have cilia, while plant cells don't. Plant cells are normally larger than animal cells. Another main difference is that animal cells use the mitochondria to produce energy, and plant cells use sunlight, aka photosynthesis. (which organelle is responsible for creating energy via cellular respiration? Don't animal and plant cells both contain this organelle?)
There are also similarities between plant and animal cells. First, they have basically the same structure, except for the organelles I mentioned earlier. They both need energy to function, and they both have unique ways of getting it. I learned most of this in middle school, and some in high school, but I didn't know that plant cells were usually larger, and that plant cells don't usually have cilia.

Very well thought out and very well structured
ReplyDeleteOverall good blog and I enjoyed reading. Was wondering if there's ever any difference between one plant cell and another plant cell or one animal cell and another animal cell.
ReplyDeleteThere are differences because, the cells will specialize in different things, so they will be different based on what they specialize in.
DeleteGreat blog I was just wondering if animal and plant cells are the same size or is it just like that in the picture
ReplyDeletePlant cells are normally larger than animal cells.
