4
Q
Key structure of animal cells
A
- Nucleus
- NO CELL WALL
5
Q
Plants
A
- Multicellular
- Both sexual and asexual reproduction
- Autotrophs - energy from photosynthesis
6
Q
Key structure of plant cell
A
- Nucleus
- Cell wall (cellulose)
- Chloroplast containing chlorophyll
- Permanent vacuole contains cell sap - maintains turgor pressure
7
