Define cytoplasm.

Gel-like substance where chemical reactions takes place.

Define mitochondria.

Where respiration takes place.

Define ribosomes.

Define cell wall.

Made of cellulose. Supports and strengthens the cell.

Define large vacuole.

Contains cell sap, weak solution for sugar and it helps keep the cell swollen.

What are the similarities between plant and animal cells?

They both have a nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria, cytoplasm, cell membrane.

What is the differences between plant and animal cells?

Animal cells do not have a cell wall, chloroplast and a vacuole. Only the plant cell has all these things.
