Animal Cells

Animal Cells Vs. Plant Cells There are quite a few similarities and differences between plant and animal cells. Whether it be the internal parts of the cells, or the processes they go through. They also have differences in shape and sometimes size. These are only a few examples of similarities and differences between the two different cells.
To begin with, both animal and plant cells are eukaryotic cells. This means that both cells have the same internal features, such as a cell membrane, a nucleus, mitochondria, and an endoplasmic reticulum. Both animal and plant cells contain a nucleus, as well as more than one chromosome. They are usually multicellular, and contain a true membrane bound nucleus. Plant and animal cells have all these features because they are both eukaryotic.
Another similarity between plant and animal cells is they both contain a Golgi apparatus. A Golgi apparatus, also known as the Golgi complex, is an organelle found in almost all eukaryotic cells. The purpose of the Golgi apparatus is to package proteins into vesicles in the
For instance, animal cells use a different process to gather energy. While both plant and animal cells contain mitochondria, only animal cells use it to produce energy from food. Plant cells on the other hand contain something animals cells do not, which is chloroplast. Plants use photosynthesis to gather energy. Photosynthesis is the conversion of sunlight to energy which occurs inside of a plant. Without chloroplasts, photosynthesis would not be possible. Chloroplasts are large, double membrane bound structures. They are usually around five micrometers across. These structures contain a substance called chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight. Photosynthesis is actually carried out by structures inside additional membranes within the
