Plant Cell Vs Animal Cell Flashcards
What type of cells are plant cells?
Eukaryotic cells
Plant cells are characterized as eukaryotic because they contain a nucleus and organelles.
Do plant cells contain chloroplasts?
Yes
Chloroplasts are essential for photosynthesis in plant cells.
What are the shapes of plant cells?
Regular rectangular shapes
The regular shape aids in the structure and function of plant tissues.
What is a significant feature of plant cells regarding vacuoles?
They have a singular large vacuole
The large vacuole helps in storing nutrients and maintaining turgor pressure.
What type of cells are animal cells?
Eukaryotic cells
Similar to plant cells, animal cells also have a nucleus and organelles.
Do animal cells have a cell wall?
No
The absence of a cell wall allows for a variety of shapes and flexibility in animal cells.
What are the shapes of animal cells?
Irregular shapes
The irregular shapes facilitate diverse functions and interactions.
What is the vacuole situation in animal cells?
Small and many vacuoles
Animal cells may have multiple small vacuoles for different functions.
