Plant and Animal Cells

There are similarities between plant and animal cells.

The similarity that Plant and Animal Cell have is they both have Nucleus, Cell Membrane, Vacuole, Cytoplasm, and Mitochondrion.

Plants and Animal Cell perform respiration that is the similar function they perform. Only plants cells perform photosynthesis which is the different function it performs.

The difference between an Animal cell and a Plant cell is that Plant cell has more features than the animal cell. Plant cell contains all the special features of an animal cell but animal cell is lacking a few of plant cell features. For example animal cell does not have chloroplast. Another difference is the way they are shape. Since animal cell don’t have a cell wall to keep it in place like a plant cell.

Plant cells have cell walls, which make them appear rectangular-shaped. Plant cells have chlorophyll, the light-absorbing pigment required for photosynthesis. This pigment is contained in structures called chloroplasts, which makes plants appear green. Respiration happens in the mitochondrion of plants and animals. Photosynthesis only happens in plants which is chloroplast.
