What are animal cells: An animal cell is a type of eukaryotic cell that lacks a cell wall and has a true, membrane-bound nucleus along with other cellular organelles.”
Examples of animal cells:
Cytoplasm: A jelly-like with particles and organelles. It is enclosed by the cell membrane. Its function is that it contains the cell organelles like mitochondria and nucleus.
Cell membrane: Its a partially permeable layer that forms a boundary around the cytoplasm. It is found around the cytoplasm. Its function is that it prevents cell contains from escaping, controls what substances enter and leave the cell.
Nucleus: A circular or oval structure containing DNA in the form of chromosomes. It found inside the cytoplasm. Its function is that it controls cell division, controls cell development and controls cell actives.
What are plant cells: Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that vary in several fundamental factors from other eukaryotic organisms. Both plant and animal cells contain a nucleus along with similar organelles.
Example of plant cells:
Cell wall: It is a tough, non-living layer made of cellulose surrounding the cell membrane. It is around the outside of plant cells. its function is to prevent plant cells from bursting, allows water and salts to pass through.
Vacuole: It is a fluid-filled space surrounded by a membrane. It is inside the cytoplasm of plant cells. Its function is to contain salts and sugars and helps to keep plant cells firm.
Chloroplast: Its an organelle containing chlorophyll. Its found inside the cytoplasm of some plant cells. Its function is to trap light energy for photosynthesis.
THE END
Explain the role of chloroplasts in plant cells.
How does the cell wall in plant cells differ from the cell membrane in animal cells?
What is the function of the cell membrane in both types of cells?
Describe how plant cells convert sunlight into energy.
