What components are typically found in animal cells and then which components are found in plant cells?
Answers:
Both animal and plant cells contain: a nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, lysosomes, centrioles and are enclosed by a plasma membrane. Animal cells do not have a rigid cell wall nor do they contain chloroplasts.
Chloroplasts, a cell wall and larger vacuoles are found in plant cells and not animal cells.
Most components are the same, organelles e.g. nucleus (contains cellular chromsomes), mitochondria (cellular respiration) and ribosomes (protein assembly) and cell membrane.
The main diagnostic difference is that plants have a cellulose cell wall and a vacuole containing fluid, both of which contribute to cell rigidity and enable a plant to stay upright. Cellulose can only be digested by certain bacteria which herbivores harbour in their gut.
Plants also contain an organelle called the chlroroplast, which contains the cellular machinery and pigments required for photosynthesis.
These distinctions don't apply to bacteria, which have no nucleus or fungi which have their own cellular layout. Also, single celled creatures called protists have some peculiarities. None have cell walls but some are capable of photosynthesis (e.g. Euglena spp.)
animal cells, cell mebrane, nucleous, smooth endoplastic reticulum, rough endoplasmic retuiculum, mitachondira, cytoplasm, lysosome, microtubles,ribosome, centriole,golgi apparatus,
plant cells, mitachondria, cell wall, vacoule, chloroplast, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum, microtublues, plastid, vesicle, plasmodesma, cell mebrane,nucleous,
Therefore in summary, plant cells have all components that an animal cell has but they have extra organelles as well. Although plant cells do not usually have lysosomes like animal cells do.
