Study Notes
Plant Cell vs Animal Cell
- Plant cells have cell walls, providing structure, unlike animal cells.
- Plant cells have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, animal cells do not.
- Animal cells usually have many small vacuoles, while mature plant cells often have one large central vacuole.
- Plant cells almost always have only one nucleus, while some large animal cells may have more than one.
- Both plant and animal cells have cell membranes enclosing the cell contents.
- Both have cytoplasm, a jelly-like substance with essential cell chemicals.
- Both contain a nucleus, housing DNA.
- Both contain mitochondria, using oxygen to break down food, releasing energy.
- Both have vacuoles that hold food, water, or waste.
- Both have endoplasmic reticulum, a transport system for proteins.
- Both have Golgi bodies for distributing proteins outside of cells.
- Both have ribosomes, which build proteins.
- Animal cells have lysosomes, plant cells do not.
- Animal cells use mitochondria primarily for energy production, while plants use chloroplasts.
- Golgi vesicles are components of the Golgi apparatus.
- Ribosomes, rough endoplasmic reticulum, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, nucleolus, nucleus, cell (plasma) membrane, cytoplasm, centrioles, lysosomes are components of animal cells.
- Cell wall, cell membrane, Golgi apparatus, chloroplast, vacuole membrane, raphide crystal, druse crystal, mitochondrion are components of plant cells.
- Plant cells contain amyloplast (starch grain)
