Question

What are the similarities between plant cells and animal cells?

Answer 1

The Similarities

• A basic similarity is the cell parts, many cell parts are found in both types of cells.
• They are both Eukaryotic cells, meaning, "Good nut," and nut meaning nucleus, because Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.
• Many of the parts serve for the same purpose.
• Both divide to create new cells

The Differences

• Even though most of the parts are the same, not all are.
• The shape of the cell is different, a plant cell is rectangular, an animal cell is square.
• Only the plant cell goes through the process of photosynthesis
• Only a plant cell has a cell wall holding it straight up in the air.
• Even though both have a vacuole, the vacuole in a plant cell is much larger, it can take up to 90% of the space in the cell. Still, the vacuole serves for the same purpose.

Comments

An animal cell is rounded.
