Describe two ways plant and animal cells are similar and two ways they are different

Explanation:

Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements. The functions of these organelles are extremely similar between the two classes of cells (peroxisomes perform additional complex functions in plant cells having to do with cellular respiration). However, the few differences that exist between plant and animals are very significant and reflect a difference in the functions of each cell. In addition to that, most animal cells are round whereas most plant cells are rectangular. Plant cells are rigid wall that surrounds the cell membrane. Animal cells do not have a cell wall.
