5 Major Differences Between Animal cell and Plant Cell

Welcome to Biology Exams for you.com

In this presentation we are going to discuss about the major difference between plant cell and an animal cell

As we all know, all organisms are made up of cells, from bacterium to blue whale, all organisms are made up of cell

The structure of all these cells are same in all organism. The basic structure is similar, but the difference in cell structure is primarily due to the difference in mode of nutrition

Plants are autodrophs whereas animals are heteroffs. Plants possess a cell wall whereas animal cell is absent

Cell wall is the outermost boundary in the case of plant cell

It is made up of cellulose and it has connection with other cells

The connection is called as plasma or dysmeter. Whereas animal cell, the outermost boundary is the plasma membrane and cell wall is absent

is absent. Why is this? Cell wall offers rigidity to the plants. Plants can

synthesize its own foot by photosynthesis therefore no need to move so cell wall

rigidity is more important than movement whereas in the case of animal cells

it is they are heterotrophs they need to move for food so cell wall can be a

hindrance. So flexibility is the key so in animal cell cell wall is absent

Second major difference is a different. is a presence of chloroplast into plant cell, the organelles that is capable of converting this energy of sunlight into chemical energy

This is the reason why plants are autodrophs. They can synthesize its own foot by using energy of the sunlight

There are pigments in these structure and these pigments are able to absorb light

and a series of reaction takes place ultimately forming energy ultimately forming sugars within these Whereas in animal cell chloroplast is absent so we need to move and we need to move for food and we need to depend on other organisms like

autotrops for food directly or indirectly. In plant cell the most prominent

org is a vacuole there is a large central vacuil the membrane is called as

tonoplast vacuil is a site where many materials like minerals water salt

and many waste materials are dumped whereas in animal cells vacuoles are very small or absent

In plant cell the reason for pick vacuole may be this vacuil has high concentration so it is by osmosis

water molecules may enter passively as there is a large vacuil. It helps in absorption actually

The fourth difference is in animal cell there is a structure that is responsible for the formation of spinning

fibrous during mitosis and meiosis and is called as a centriol in plant cell

centrioles are absent these structures these fibers are formed from protoplasmic region and not much is known how this is formed and this is another difference

in animal cell there is a lysosome and organ is present that has digestive

enzymes lysosome is an org that has digestive enzymes that is involved in the degradation of metabolites and also pathogens that are degraded in the system

But in plant cell, lysosome is absent. But many reports suggest that this vacuil has a pH of 5 and many conditions similar to that of

lysosome and has many digestive enzymes. So many consider vacuil is doing the function of lysosome in the case of plant cell
