Question

What do animal cells have that plant cells do not?

Answer 1

1. Cell is a structural-functional and heredity unit of life.
2. Animal cells, like plant cells, are covered by a cell membrane and contain a nucleus, vacuole, cytoplasm, mitochondria, and ribosomes.
3. However, there are some distinctions between the two types of cells.
4. A cell wall surrounds the cell membrane in a plant cell, but there is no cell wall in an animal cell.
5. Plant cells have plastids and plasmodesmata, which are not seen in animal cells.
6. Plant cells lack centrioles and lysosomes, which are present in animal cells.
7. Centrioles are tube-like organelles in animal cells that play a role in the production of spindle fibers during cell division.
8. Lysosomes are organelles that carry digestive enzymes that help break down and recycle waste in the animal cell.
