Plant Cell vs Animal Cell

By: Kevin Barteau

Main ideas:

-Differences

-only plant cells have

-Cell wall

-Chloroplasts

-Plastids

-only animal cells have

-Lysosomes

-Cilia

-Centrioles

-animal cells are Round(irregular shape) and plant cells are rectangular(fixed shape)

-animal cells have one or more small vacuoles and plant cells have one large central vacuole taking up 90% of cell volume

-Similarities

-both have

-Cytoplasm

-Ribosomes

-Mitochondria

-Endoplasmic Reticulum(Smooth and Rough)

-Golgi Apparatus

-Plasma Membrane

-Microtubules

-Nucleus

-Flagella may be found in some cells

-both are eukaryotic cells

Reflection:

We went over this in class so there wasn't much I learnt during my research but I was surprised that the website I sited for information stated that lysosomes, cilia, and centrioles might very rarely be in plants though I don’t think this will be on a test.
