2. Things cells have in common
All cells have some parts in common. The parts are
Plasma membrane – It is the “skin” of the cell.
Cytoplasm- The protoplasm inside a cell.
Ribosomes- these are structures in the cytoplasm. Protein is made here.
DNA- DNA holds genetic directions that cells need to make proteins.
All cells live in things that are alive.

3. Parenchymal Plant Cell
The Parenchyma plant cell is cube-shaped .
It is loosely packed
It has thin walls
It contains chloroplasts

4. Collenchyma Plant Cell
This plant cell is elongated.
Collenchyma is more flexible than fibers.
They grow with surrounding tissue.
During their development, the collenchyma cells have walls which are mainly cellulosic.
Cellulosic- a chain of linked sugar molecules that give wood its strength.

5. Sclerenchyma These types of cells are hard and fragile.
Sclerenchyma develop a secondary wall that is made of lignin. Lignin makes it hard.
This plant cell is waterproof.
This is empty at maturity and dead.

6. Muscle cells
Muscle cells are accountable for moving an animal’s limbs and organs
Can be skeletal , cardiac, or smooth muscle cells.
Skeletal cells are the most common type of muscle cells.
Muscle cells are long and shaped like a tube.

7. Nerve cells Main cells of nervous system.
Nerve cells receive and deliver messages and signals to the owner or animal.
Neuron is another name for nerve cell.
Main portion of a nerve cell is the cell body.

8. Blood cell Are split into white and red blood cells.
The white thing in the middle is a white blood cell of an animal. The red ones are red blood cells of an animal.
Are split into white and red blood cells.
Red blood cells are
99 % of all blood cells.
Red blood cells are the only ones with no nucleus.
White animal cells help fight off bacteria and sicknesses.

9. Differences Plant cell A plant cell is larger. Can’t change its shape.
Nucleus is on one side in the peripheral cytoplasm
Lysosomes are rare.
Animal cell
An animal cell is smaller.
Can change its shape.
Nucleus usually lies in the Centre
Lysosomes always there in animal cells.

10. Conclusion
To sum it up, all cells have some parts in common. They are plasma membrane, cytoplasm DNA, and Ribosomes. Some plant cells are parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma . Some animal cells are nerve cells, blood cells, and muscle cells. Though there are many differences between plant and animal cells, here is one: plant cells are larger and animal cells are usually smaller.
