Question

Differentiate between-

(a) Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell
(b) Plant cell and animal cell

Answer 1

Lysosomes and peroxisomes are absent	Lysosomes and peroxisomes are present
Golgi apparatus and mitochondria are absent	Golgi apparatus and mitochondria are present
Plasmids are commonly present	Plasmids are mostly absent

Plant cell	Animal cell
