Make a comparison and write down ways in which plant cells are different from animal cells?
Difference between the plant cell and the animal cell are:
|
Plant Cell |
Animal Cell |
|
1. The outermost covering of the plant cell is the cell wall which is formed of cellulose. 2. Plastids (e.g., chloroplast) present. 3. Large vacuole present. 4. Centrioles are absent but polar caps are present. 5. Golgi apparatus is in the form of sub-units, called dictyosomes. |
1. The outermost covering is the plasma membrane. 2. Plastids absent. 3. Small or no vacoules are present. 4. Centrioles are present within centrosome. 5. Prominent and highly complex Golgi apparatus is present near nucleus. |
Which organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell? Why?
What would happen to the life of a cell if there was no Golgi apparatus?
How is a prokaryotic cell different from a eukaryotic cell?
What would happen if the plasma membrane ruptures or breaks down?
