Chapter 2 : comparison between Animal & plant cell

Ø Similarities :

Both cell have :

Nucleus ,  cytoplasm , plasma membrane , mitochondrion , golgi apparatus , ER and ribosomes

Ø Differences :

                                   i.            Plant Cell have cell wall while animal cell does not have cell wall.

STRUCTURE	ANIMAL CELL	PLANT CELL
SHAPE	IRREGULAR SHAPE	FIXED SHAPE
CELL WALL	NO CELL WALL	HAVE CELL WALL
VACUOLE	NO VACUOLE, IF PRESENT VACUOLE  ARE TOO SMALL	LARGE CENTRAL VACUOLE
CHLOROPLAST	NO CHLOROPLAST	HAVE CHLOROPLAST
CENTRIOLE	HAVE CENTRIOLE	NO CENTRIOLE
FOOD STORAGE	IN FORM OF GLYCOGEN	IN FORM OF STARCH
