Are plant and animal cells the same or different?

Most living things can be divided into two. Do you know what they are?

plants and animals

Then, are plant cells and animal cells the same or different? Do you think apple cells are different from frog cells?

Can you tell any differences? To answer this question, look at these two pictures. Left is a picture of a plant cell and right is of an animal cell. Can you tell any differences?

They are very much alike, but… … plant cells have two more parts, cell wall and chloroplasts, in addition to all the seven cells parts in animal cells.

Things to Remember!!! Both plant cells and animal cells have 7 cell parts: cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria, vacuoles, nucleus, nuclear membrane, and chromosomes. In addition to the 7 parts, plant cells have 2 more parts: cell wall and chloroplasts.
