What is cytoplasm?

The jelly-like substance inside the cell, where organelles are suspended.

What does the nucleus do?

The control center of the cell, containing genetic information and making ribosomes.

What are lysosomes?

Organelles responsible for breaking down cellular waste, like cleaning crew in a factory.

What are ribosomes?

Small organelles that make proteins - the building blocks of the cell.

Cell Wall vs. No Cell Wall

Plant cells have rigid walls made of cellulose for support and structure, giving them a definite shape. Animal cells lack this rigid wall and are flexible, thus appearing irregular.

Chloroplasts in Plants, Absent in Animals

Plant cells have chloroplasts, the sites of photosynthesis, which convert sunlight into energy. Animal cells lack chloroplasts, requiring food from external sources.

Centrioles in Animals, Missing in Plants

Animal cells have centrioles, involved in cell division and the formation of microtubules. Plant cells lack centrioles, relying on a different mechanism for cell division.

Lysosomes for Cleaning in Animals, Vacuoles in Plants

Animal cells have lysosomes containing enzymes that break down waste products. Plant cells generally lack prominent lysosomes, relying on vacuoles for waste management.

Plant's Large Vacuole, Animal's Small Ones

Plant cells have a large central vacuole, storing water, nutrients, and waste. Animal cells have smaller vacuoles, often multiple, with diverse functions.
