What is the difference between plant and animal cell structure?
As plants and animals are eukaryotic, so they have almost similar cellular structure, but few organelles like chloroplast, plasmodesmata, cell wall, plastids, etc. are only found in the plant cell, while in there is no cell wall in the animal cell; instead they have cilia, the tight junction for other functionality.
What do plants and animals have in common?
Plants and animals both have cells, both have DNA, and both require energy to grow. Even though plants and animals don't appear to have a lot in common, they are at least as similar as they are different. Living things are made up of tiny structural units called cells.
Why are plant and animal cells called eukaryotic?
Plant and animal cells are called Eukaryotic because the true nucleus is present. A typical cell has three main parts – cell boundaries and protoplasm. The main function of cell boundaries is to protect the cell and allow movement across. The protoplasm is made up of a nucleus and cytoplasm.
