Plant and Animal Cell
Plant and Animal Cell
While
they share many common features as eukaryotic cells, they also have distinct differences. Here’s
a comparison of their structures and functions:
1. Cell Wall: A rigid outer layer made of cellulose that provides structural support and
protection.
2. Chloroplasts: Contains chlorophyll and carries out photosynthesis to convert light
energy into chemical energy (glucose).
3. Central Vacuole: A large vacuole that stores water, nutrients, and waste products; helps
maintain cell turgor pressure.
