(b) Diagram of a typical plant cell (c) (i) Differences between a plant cell and an animal cell
plant cell | Animal |
Has cellulose cell wall / rigid | Lacks cellulose cell wall |
Has one large central vocoule | has numerous/vocoule |
has chloroplast | lacks chloroplast |
Contains starch granules in its cytoplasm | contains glycogen granules in it cytoplasm |
Usually larger in size | Usually smaller in size |
Does not have lysosome | has lysosome |
Does not have centrioles / centrosome | Has centrioles / centrosome |
Has a regular / defined cell shape | has an irregular / indefinite cell shape |
cytoplasm less dense | cytoplasm more dense |
stores lipid as oil | stores lipid as fat |
(ii) Similarities in plant cell and animal cell; They both have cytoplasm; nucleus; vacuole; mitochondrion; Golgi body; (smooth/rough) endoplasmic reticulum; cell membrane/plasma membrane; ribosomes
