Diffrences And Similaritys Between Plant And Animal Cell Organelles

Cell Membrane

Both plant and animal cells have a cell membrane that acts as a protective barrier, controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Nucleus

Both plant and animal cells have a nucleus, which contains the genetic material (DNA) and controls cell activities.

Mitochondria

Both plant and animal cells have mitochondria, responsible for energy production through cellular respiration.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Both plant and animal cells have ER, involved in protein synthesis and lipid metabolism.

Golgi Apparatus

Both plant and animal cells have a Golgi apparatus, responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins.

Vacuoles

Both plant and animal cells have vacuoles, involved in storage, waste disposal, and maintaining cell turgidity.

Chloroplasts

Plant cells have chloroplasts, responsible for photosynthesis, while animal cells lack this organelle.

Lysosomes

Animal cells have lysosomes, which contain digestive enzymes involved in breaking down waste materials, while plant cells have fewer or no lysosomes.
