Similarities and Differences between Vegetable cells and Animal cells

Similarities and Differences between Vegetable cells and Animal cells

1. Both cells have a plasmatic membrane, which is responsible for the transportation of substances in and out of the cell

   • Animals cells and vegetable cells have cytoplasm, where the organelles are located and cells functions take place
     • Ribosomes and nucleus are an equal characteristic of animal cells and vegetable cells
       • Both vegetable cells and animal are packed with lysosomes, organelles in charge of cell digestion
         • Vacuoles and mitochondries are also a common characteristic of animal cells and animal cells

2. DIFFERENCES

   • Plant cells are autotrophic because they can make their own food . Animal cells are heterotrophic because they can not make their food.
     • Vegetable cells got plastidies (that accumulate many substances) and animal cells don’t
       • Vegetable cells contain chloroplasts, responsible for the green color of plants; and animal cells don’t have this characteristic
         • Vegetable cells possess cell wall, to protect the plasmatic membrane, and animal cells do not have wall cell
           • Animal cells have Glycogen and is exclusive to the animal cell. Plant cells have no Glycogen.
