ANIMAL vs' PLANT CELLS

1
ANIMAL vs. PLANT CELLS

• Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic

2
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ANIMAL AND PLANT CELLS

• ANIMAL
• Do not have a cell wall
• Do not have plastids (I.e. chloroplasts)
• Do have centrioles for cell division
• Have many small vacuoles used for digestion,
  storage and the excretion of waste

• PLANT
• Do have a cell wall
• Do have plastids
• Do not have centrioles
• Have one large vacuole (used mainly for water
  balance)
• Golgi complexes are smaller and more numerous
  than animal cells

EUKARYOTIC vs. PROKARYOTIC

• A eukaryotic (you-care-ee-ah-tic) cell contains a
  membrane-bound nucleus and many cellular
  organelles
• Plant and animal cells are examples of eukaryotic
  cells
• Prokaryotic cells DO NOT have a membrane-bound
  nucleus
• The DNA in these cells is free-floating within
  the cell and is said to be CIRCULAR (ends are
  connected to one another
• Many have cell walls
• Lack the other membrane organelles of eukaryotic
  cells
• Bacteria are examples of prokaryotic cells
