Animal And Plant Cells. Animal cells and plant cells share the common components of a nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and a cell membrane. However, there are several significant differences between these two cell types.
In this chapter we will learn about the basic units of life which enable all of functions within living organisms - cells. All plant and animal cells have cytoplasm which contain mitochondria. The primary difference from plant cells is that animal cells don't contain chloroplast nor structurally important cell walls.
The primary difference from plant cells is that animal cells don't contain chloroplast nor structurally important cell walls.
The similarities between the two have maintained themselves throughout history and the process of evolution because the circumstances each cell type faced were similar and needed similar tools.
All plant and animal cells have cytoplasm which contain mitochondria. However, as both are fundamental units of entities, each has their own feature that differentiates it from the other. Furthermore, animal cells do not contain chloroplasts.
