what is cells ? what is the difference between animal cells and plant cells
Cells are the structural and functional units of all living organisms.All cells come from pre-existing cells.The differences between animal cells and plantcells are: plant cells contain chloroplast pigment which the animal cells do not have. Plant cells have stiff cells unlike animal cells. Animal cells break sugar into carbon while plant cells change carbon dioxide into sugar. The main difference between plants and animal cells is that plants have a cell wall and plasma membrane made up of cellulose, while animal cells have only a cell wall. Secondly, plant cells have chloroplasts for making their own food while animal cells lack, because they depend on ready made food. In relation to their shapes, plant cells have regular shape, while animal cells are irregular in shape.
