Question

Label the parts of the diagrams given below.Identify which one is the plant cell and which one is animal cell.

Answer 1

Hint:As well as a cell membrane, plant cells have a cell wall. The cell wall of plants covers the cell membrane. This gives its distinctive rectangular form to the plant cell. The cells of animals simply have a cell membrane, but no wall of cells.

Complete answer:

	Animal cell	Plant cell
Definition	Animal cells are also the basic functional unit of life for all cell organelles constituted by animals that perform a range of functions to support the metabolisms of animals.	Plant cells are essential plant functional units that make up all cell organelles that perform a range of functions that support the metabolisms of the plants.
Size and Shape	Animal cells are generally smaller with their cells varying in length from 10-30um than plant cells.The shape and sizes of animal cells, most defined by the role they play, vary greatly from irregular shapes to round shapes.	With the cell size varying from 10um-100um in length, plant cells are larger than animal cells.With most cells being rectangular or cube-shaped, plant cells are similar in type.
Cell wall	They lack a cell wall, but they have a plasma (cell) membrane that supports and protects the cell from external damage.It also plays a major role in the selective permeability of nutrient molecules, water, and other cell components, allowing in and outflow.	They both have a cell wall consisting of a cell membrane and cellulose. The cell wall is, on the surface of all plant cells, a rigid membrane matrix whose primary function is to protect the cell and its contents.
Cytoplasm	All the cell organelles are housed in it.	It hosts most of the organelles of the cell
Vacuoles	There may be several tiny vacuoles in animal cells, much smaller than plant cells.	Plant cells have a large central vacuole capable of occupying up to 90% of the volume of the cell.
Nucleus	Present, and it is located at the middle of the cell	Present, and it is located at the side of the cell
Plastids	Absent	They provide the plants with pigmentation colour and also promote the trapping of light energy used for photosynthesis.

Note:The fundamental unit of life is the cell. Many of life's events are done by cells. Organisms are defined on the basis of the number of cells in them. Unicellular species are single-celled, although there are a significant number of cells in multicellular organisms.
