Question
plant and animal cells differ in some of their structures and organelles based on their different needs and functions. most animals have bones that help give them support and structure. plants do not. animals eat to get the energy they need. plants convert sunlight into food energy using photosynthesis.
in the plant cell pictured, click on two structures that you would expect to find in a plant cell, but not an animal cell. to select the structures, click on the name of the structure.
Plant cells have unique structures like the cellulose cell wall (provides structure and support) and chloroplasts (site of photosynthesis). Animal cells lack these. The cellulose cell wall is a rigid outer layer in plant cells, absent in animal cells which have only a cell membrane. Chloroplasts are used by plants to convert sunlight into energy (photosynthesis), a process not done by animal cells.
