Similarity between animal and plant cells explained using animations.

Both animal and plant cells are surrounded by a thin, semi permeable membrane called plasma membrane. Both the type of cells have nucleus which can be seen clearly under the light microscope as it is darkly coloured due to the chromatin material inside it. Chromatin is the genetic material that is made up of loosely coiled threads of DNA.

Inside the nucleus we can see an even deeply coloured stain and this structure is called the nucleolus, which is made of loops of DNA from several chromosomes. Surrounding all the organelles is the cytoplasm, a jelly like substance that covers the whole cell from the plasma membrane to the nucleus, both plant amd animal cells have them.

They both also have organelles. Organelles are there to conduct different functions in the cell, same as our organs perform different functions throughout the body. For example, the mitochondria is a specialised organelle to conduct aerobic respiration. Organelles can also move about, change shape, divide and are abundant in the cell. The Golgi apparatus is part of a complex internal distribution system that moves about ions and molecules within the cell. You see, both the animal and plant cells are such fascinating factories!

Differences between animal and plant cells

A structure present in animal cells and not in plant cells is the centriole. Under the microscope, centrioles look like small structures close to the nucleus and is involved in nuclear division. More detail was given in our mitosis and meiosis videos.

Plant cells are usually larger than animal cells and are surrounded by a thick, rigid cell wall. This is why they can be more easily be seen under a light microscope than an animal cell. The cell wall gives the plant cell a definite shape, preventing the cell from bursting when it enters by osmosis. Plant cells have another interesting structure, the plasmodesmata.

The plasmodesmata is like a road connecting a neighbourhood together. Plant cells are linked together with the help of fine stands of cytoplasm which pass through pore like structures in the cell walls of the neighbouring cells. Movement through the pores is thought to be controlled by their structure.

Plant cells also have large vacuole that covers most of the cell. Vacuole is an important structure that helps regulate osmotic pressure of the cell. It is filled with fluid of mineral salts, sugars, oxygen, carbon dioxide and even waste products. Some pigments that give colour to fruits and vegetables are also located in vacuoles. Did you know that the pigment of red colour of beetroot is also located in vacuoles?

In plant cells the vacuole is also surrounded by a membrane called the tonoplast which controls exchange between the vacuole and the cytoplasm.  Most plant cells also bear choloroplasts that help them carry out the process of photosynthesis. Animal cells do not have this.
